Glad you and the dogs are ok.  I had a dog get her tendon cut like that.  She lived after taking a liter and a half of IV fluid due to the blood loss.  We gave her 1 liter in the field and when A&M fixed her up they gave her another half liter.  It was expensive.  She spent 10 weeks in a cast which required me to take her out of the cast every day and replace the dressing.  She can walk and run now but I have not taken her back to the woods because I am afraid if it breaks again they told me that they couldnt repair the tendon again and would have to fuse the hock.  But she gets around now just fine and produces jam up catch dogs just like her.
