terryd 8,955 Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 The dogs leg muscle seems to have fused back on quite well. But it was only 3 weeks ago so I would be mad to let him exert it yet. So long line it was for him today so he could have a bit of freedom but I could stop him going hell for leather. He had a bad dose of colitis last week and lost a bit of pud. The wife was reading about the anti inflammatory they gave for his leg and turns out a side affect is dogs with collie in can get colitis. I never thought to tell the vet and she never thought to ask if he had collie in him So that cost another 60 notes on more pills. I picked up a new permission but unfortunately mixi/vhd had just passed through and cleaned them out including the farmers daughters rabbits. There was still the odd one hiding so they can build back up. Definitely one in here but the cover was a tad thick to do much about it but cracking weather and a pleasure to be about. The dogs leg looked good so next is to throw a ball about on the line and see how it reacts to twisting about a bit Little video 4 Quote Link to post
slip lead 862 Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Could you get him to swim. Great for working the muscles after injury.. Quote Link to post
terryd 8,955 Posted November 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 His not a big fan this time of year. Will take him for a short jog in a minute. The short is for my benefit not his lol. Then I might start him on the bike as long as he can stay on. Then just plenty of walking. Then consider letting him off in a couple of weeks if its going well Quote Link to post

lanesra 4,007 Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Stunning looking , Its a long season & time is the key , holding him back a bit longer is better than letting him back a bit early & the better it will be in the long run , good luck mate . 1 Quote Link to post

I got home from work and he had been spinning round chasing his tail decorating the front room. The mrs was not happy. Words of divorce and never having another dog were bandied about 2 Quote Link to post
