A dog has been injured in a greyhound race in New South Wales named in solidarity with Tasmania's greyhound racing industry.

On Sunday, greyhound Manila Shelby fell early in the race and slammed into a metal side barrier, before struggling to get up and hobbling to the finish line.

The race is one of many across the country called "We Stand With Tasmania" that have resulted in falls and injuries.

A greyhound has suffered a fall and injury at a regional New South Wales race named in solidarity with Tasmania's racing industry, which faces a possible statewide ban.

WARNING: This story contains images that may cause distress for some readers.

It was race two on Sunday night in the town of Temora. 

The race, named "We Stand With Tasmania Pathways", was a 330-metre dash to the finish for seven greyhounds.

Five-year-old greyhound Manila Shelby bolted from the box and collided with another dog at the first turn.

She was flung into the side metal barrier and struggled to get back up. 

A stewards' report from the night said it was likely she broke her shoulder blade and injured her "tricep".

A Greyhound Racing NSW spokesperson later said the trainer took his dog to the vet the following day and an examination and x-rays showed no fractures.

Manila Shelby was given oral medication and will not be able to race for several weeks, vet notes shared by Greyhound Racing NSW showed.

The race replay video has been deleted from the state's racing website.

On a prominent betting site, the race replay has also been edited to exclude the fall.
