❤️Reign update ❤️

Reign is gradually improving with Hydrotherapy and Physio and is starting some foundation fitness exercises now. She’s able to walk 10mins on lead now too.
We’re looking forward to her being able to run again.
Thanks to everyone for your support and good wishes x

A big shout of Thank you’s to everyone that has donated to help Reign it is so very much appreciated. Sending lots of positive vibes back to everyone xx

Reign update 10 days post surgery.

Reign had her splint changed on Monday. We tried everything we could with cooperative care but alas she was not having a bar of the vet near her leg. So the best option was to sedate her as she has to be very still for the splint change. We ended up leaving her in the car so she’d be relaxed and then I cut off the bandage holding the splint. By that stage she was out to it and the vet was able to redo the splint. Her incision is nice and clean so that’s a relief.
It’s not very nice for her to be heavily sedated and it takes a while for her to come out of it, but the anxiety and fear isn’t either.

We are trying a different sedative next week that is administered at home to make her sleepy but not knock her out. Hoping it’s enough.
Just 7 splints to go! Then soft bandaging. Hoping as she heals she becomes trustworthy again 🥰

Photo of Reign outside with me while I have lunch - looking at the garden/shrubs I’m demolishing so I can have more grass to train on. 👍

Happy 1st Birthday to Zentwist Chika-Chi x Tanhill Glen pups.
So super proud of you all and your owners are doing such an amazing job with foundation agility / dog sports.

Zeat & Roselle, Karen & Trust, Kristina & ViVa, Alexus & Fate.

These pups are super smart with such brilliant working drive and athletic bodies, just awesome ❤️

As a breeder we always want to select a Sire to improve the line, and these pups are certainly a result of that.

Very excited to see them develop.

Reigns foot 😀
The screw on the side of first X-ray shows where the collateral prosthesis is attached.

Reign is home. 😍
It was found she had a medial collateral ligament injury and palmar fibrocartilage injury causing increased valgus and hypertension of the carpus. Her surgery was a partial arthrodesis where her lower carpal joints were fused with a bone graft from the proximal humerus and a figure 8 ligament prosthesis to replace the collateral ligament and a T plate to hold her foot in place. This stabilises the intercarpal and carpo-metacarpal joint.

I will post x-rays when I receive them.

Happy Birthday to Zentwist Majestic Reign 6 years today. You are a super special girl, you were so meant to be. Jazzy lives on in you. I'm super excited for you making the next generation of Jazzy's next year (Reign x Midderry Frank).
Along with achieving some goals in Agility and RallyO, 2024 will be a special year for you.

First Family catch-up.
ViVa and I had a lovely time seeing Alexus with Fate and Karen with Trust at NZDAC.
Plus I was lucky to get a family photo of me with Reign, ViVa and Chika. Thanks .photography

ViVa learnt some ringside skills and watched the JA final enthusiastically but with self control 🌟🌟🌟
Then we had a lovely stop at Spa Park on our way home.
Such a fabulous weekend 💜

Super proud of Zentwist Chika-Chi’s Novice 5th out of 120 dogs at NZDAC. Only 2secs behind winner with a bit of a detour on the course 😆
It was her first comp since having pups and a caesarean so her fitness is still building. She also had a bad fall off the Aframe on the first day but by day 3 was back in the swing of things. Super proud she’s a tough girl and wasn’t injured and went on to get a clear round 😍

ViVa had her first Chiro visit today and was such a trooper. Just stood with a chin placement and didn’t worry at all. Great to make sure our pups are in alignment when growing. Plus all my other dogs were treated too. ❤️
