chartpolski 27,900 Posted 13 hours ago Report Share Posted 13 hours ago (edited) I’ve been talking to lads and the general consensus is acidosis is caused, mainly , by over running an unfit dog. Seems strange for a 13 week old pup to suffer from it , maybe its something else ? Cheers. Edited 13 hours ago by chartpolski 1 Quote Link to post

Know other people lads that have used him and he’s been spot on. Helped me with another dog. Took her there first because I noticed her going stiff in her back legs at night. So thought get her a once over. He said all the legs and everything fine just got some built lactic acid in her saddle muscle. Told me what to give her to help. When you run your hand/fingers over her saddle muscle you can see her twitch so what he’s said make sense. And I reckons as she grows or once she’s grown she’ll be fine he wasn’t worried about it. 2 Quote Link to post
trigger2 3,311 Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago Bi carb on the pups meal will sort it mate, had a lurcher that used to come back from a hard run and sometimes lie down and squeal. Teaspoon of bicarb on his food everyday sorted it. Strange I know but it worked. 2 Quote Link to post

MUCH to high protein for a pup. Find a lower protein food. You will find a lot of your problems will go away 1 Quote Link to post
