Our lovely BC (age 10) has injured her tricep muscle - apparently is a much bigger muscle in dogs than humans. She is limping when walking and does not want to go far. Last week DH had to carry her home.
Vet has put her on painkillers (she can't have anti inflammatorys unfortunately as on steroids for protein loosing enterophy) and advised three twenty minute walks per day - doesn't matter if only walks for 5 minutes and sniffs about for 15 minutes. Vet also said would be 4 to 6 week recovery- compared it to being an athlete with an injury.
Just wondered if anyone had any experience of this? She is better some days but not on others.
