Great news! I'm really wary now with my Whippet, he just blindly runs after the ball no matter where it goes... brambles... massive ditch etc. I once watched him jump down 7 foot in to a ditch chasing his ball, thankfully it was full of water. He had to get surgery once to stitch up a massive flap of skin (could see bone!) that he was none the wiser to, think he went through a rose bush.

Well we have had some good news this morning. No break, tendons are torn and it was a bad dislocation but they managed to relocate it under general anaesthetic. They will have to see how the recovery goes, he will be in a sling for weeks or possibly months, but may not need any surgery at all.
We are picking him up this afternoon, he will get lots of love and fuss while he recuperates
