Dizzycharm Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 My poor Dizzy Dog has to rest from agility until March. She was chasing her ball in her usual manic way and I noticed some stiffness in the evening but no limping. That evening and for about a week, she didn't want to jump on the bed and was going up the stairs sideways. I managed to get her an appointment with the chiropractor which was on Tuesday. Luckily no serious damage done but was very stiff in back legs and over the back (worse on left side) and I have been given some massaging techniques to do everyday. There is also probably a little soft muscle damage aswell, but nothing that can't be cured from rest. I had to cover Dizzy's ears for the next part - No agility til March - poor girl will think I'm being mean when I take the others and not her. But I know its for the best and she'll have to hate me for a while. The trouble is that it was caused by me throwing her ball and the way she has to get at it when going 100mph. Through the summer we don't use balls at all, but we have lots of shooting around us (Nov - Feb) and if I don't take something to take her mind off it, then all she does is walk behind me and occassionally peer round my legs - not much fun for mutley. Sorry, just wanted to tell someone that I'm feeling bad for my little girl . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzycharm Posted February 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Thank you for your messages. Luckily we decided not to go to training on Saturday and our Wednesday class isn't on due to half term. So she knows we haven't gone anywhere without her. She also has a bonus at the moment. Because we are fostering Fluke, we needed the space in the back room to put his cage, so Dizzy is sleeping in my room at the moment (which she is more than chuffed about) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
