🐾🐶 LOCHY IS ON THE UP! 🐶🐾
Lochy has been lame for a couple of months now and it has been a real journey. She has had x-rays, a CT scan and her images were sent to specialists because nobody was quite sure whether something subtle was hiding in there. Everything came back clear. Helpful in one sense, but not when you are living with a young, energetic dog who wants to get out into the world.
Over the last couple of weeks she has had two sessions with a clinical canine massage therapist Kernow K9 Clinical Massage Therapy and after the most recent one things have finally started to shift. We now have the green light to start rebuilding her exercise and strength again.
So today we headed to a secure field Ultimutt Dog Parks where she could stretch her legs without me worrying she might hear a pheasant and bu**er off across the countryside like the feral little spaniel she is at heart. 🫣🙄
She pottered, did a bit of gentle hoopers, had a go at some simple scent games and we added a few movement bits to get her body working again. She absolutely loved every second and came home to sleep the afternoon away.
It felt genuinely brilliant to see her moving freely and enjoying herself again. If things keep going the right way she should be back to full walks, full fitness and trailing again by the new year. 💛
