I cringe when I see these photos of my beloved Mack 🫣
His soft bones and developing joints really did not need these forces being put through them. Mack developed Spondylosis right where that angulation is in his spine on the bottom picture. He did not perform this jump and land once, he did every time he jumped for a ball, jumped down off the bed or sofa, jumped out of the car, jumped off the verandah..... it was a repeated action.

Through my training I am now well aware of the damage repetitive strains can cause, I am aware of the developing puppy's musculoskeletal system and how easily it can be impacted, I am well versed in canine arthritis and how to prevent and manage it, I know what safe appropriate exercise looks like for dogs and I know what regret feels like when you got it wrong for your dog 🧡

Pain can become its own disease. If pain is not addressed properly, it can lead to a range of complications, including chronic pain conditions, decreased quality of life, and even psychological effects like anxiety or depression. Early recognition and treatment can help prevent these issues and improve overall well-being. Effective pain management often involves a combination of approaches, including medication, physical therapy and lifestyle changes.

What Is Allodynia?

Allodynia is a condition where non-painful stimuli are perceived as painful. This altered pain perception is primarily due to the hypersensitivity of the NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptors present in the nervous system.

Pain has a direct impact on behaviour in our dogs. It effects their temperament, tolerance and concentration. Most sudden behavioural problems in dogs are due to an underlying health issue. When we think of a dog in pain we commonly associate a low mood, avoiding touch or a grumpy demeanor, however pain has shown to cause or worsen separation anxiety, an increase in vocalisation, out of character aggression, pica (eating non-food items), sudden onset of fear, and destruction of property when left alone are to name a few. I always recommend consulting your vet if you are concerned about pain in your dog 🐾
