pups on the mend

[wirral countryman 2,110]

Times like this a treadmill is really handy, do you know anyone with one?

Moll,its the last thing that pup needs,with a treadmill you are setting a pace thats artificial set by yourself,that pup needs to take it at its own pace,only she will know when its hurting or uncomfortable,also dogs that have never been on one can suffer terrible damage if not set right,its also a very lazy mans way of recuperation or training a dog,they can also be very noisey which in itself can scare a pup,WM

Not when used properly!

Take things very, very slowly because as shes going to feel even better, shes going to be like a coiled spring, its very easy to forget, and the last thing you want, is another injury, it all takes time.

(how did she break her leg)?

Alrite mate glad she is doing well and she looks great im doing very little with her sister she is walked a couple of times a day but is rarely of the leash and iv never got her of with the other dogs as they are very easy injured at this age . I would walk her short walks every day round the block or whatever she doesnt need anything crazy i just give mine obedience stay heel leave here fetch i also do alot of getting use top the ferrets about january ill start letting her see a few rabbits (my pup) and at about 10 months if she is right enough she will get her first kill i dont rush realy and wont truly start the bitch till next season where she will have some proper graft. Id take it even slower with your pup just plenty lead work she wont start bulking up until about the 15 month mark my mate has whippets and there not very well muscled there able but dont look much and could be better its down to his feeding he just feeds crap and about 3 times what i do i feed red mills racer about 3-5 ounce depending on the dog and plenty fish and other meats veneson etc and mine and like a diff ball game .

 

Heres her sister and the other pup im rearing on the now i took these last nite , we shall get them out together at some point soon even meet up for a walk and catch up when your back mate .

she broke it when i was on holiday and she was at the mother in laws. she was playing with my lab x and jumped throught the fence around the decking and her leg didnt quite follow her.
