I know this isn't quite what you are after, but I have a dog with HD that see's a physio and uses the underwater treadmill at dogsinmotion in doveton, it's helped alot
If she is in pain then it would certainly change her behaviour
I would be getting a second opinion from another Vet
there are better ways to manage arthritis, like Cartrophin Injections and using joint guard
Thank you very much for your replies everyone
Much appareciated
was just curious to see what the answers were for different size breeds
and to see if times had changed over the last 6 years
thanks again
I was wondering what advice breeders give to puppy/young dog buyers in regards to excercisie/walking.
My Mum bought a pure large breed dog about 6 years ago and was told by the breeder not to walk him over a kilometer for the first 12 to 18 months of his life.
So I was wondering if this is just a large breed "thing" or is this the case for all different size dogs
Thanks
