Vets today after Maslows limp and subsequent week of meds and lead only walks... luckily we had the orthopaedic surgeon vet who did a really thorough examination, shoulder joints were manipulated, elbows were checked and moved, I had to walk, jog and then run (!!!) around the car park with him whilst the vet watched.

Vets said no sign of swelling, no joint stiffness detected - back to working up on walks - he wants him to have a decent 20 minute walk on lead twice a day to start building him back up again (he said puppies lose muscle tone really quickly) we were chatting and he said he thinks it’s probably a result of me playing fetch with him after having 2 weeks of being kenneled - he’s gone for the ball too hard and stretched a muscle that’s already stretched due to how big is and how fast he’s growing (22kg now!!) he’s also said that weight is perfect!

So no ball fetch for 2 weeks and then it has to be controlled, no more pelting after the ball on a walk - training exercise only. He can do off lead but for a max of 10 minutes and no chasing dogs etc

Here we are celebrating our freedom 😂

Slightly awkward when the vet was like... any sickness?

Me: only the once but he had eaten an entire tub of tropical fish flakes so was to be expected.

Him: right.. yes I see that on his notes.

Me: but he was right as rain straight after... oh and he pooed a marble yesterday but I was expecting that and it was a solid poo.

Him: anything else?

Me: he ate a sock this morning. At least I think he did. It was there when I went to the toilet and gone when I got back and he looked... smug. It was the same look he had after the fish food.


Literally worse puppy mum ever 😂 thank god they don’t do social services for dogs 🙄

Glad he is better and he looks very happy in the sunshine...

PS: Sure we would have had puppy social services called on us too...socks x 3, item stuck in nose etc...apparently we are top 5 customer at the Vets. I have asked if I could buy shares

Honestly we just can’t get a break. Mas has had awful diarreah all day today with blood in it.

Been to vets and they think it’s probably the metacam which he has stopped now anyway. Poor little guy 😔
