I just want to sceam!

Ok some will know Moo has had a limp for the past couple weeks, I didn't at first keep her off it so my fault for prolonging it but for the past few days I have been off work and carefully monitoring it, lead walks of twenty mins, and I was making a break through, I'd even booked her into the vets yesterday but it seemed to have improved so much I decided to cancel it.

Well I get home from work today and her limp is just as it was at the start, I then find out she has been on a 2.5 hour walk today, some off lead even though I have stressedwhat she is allowed!

OMG I am so angry!

sack the walker

He's my friend & adores Moo, he does me a favour really, but how can someone be so stupid!

No wonder your angry, what was he thinking Poor Moo ><

poor moo

Do you want me to send Dave round to damage his legs 2.5 hours walk away from the hospital and see if he fancies the walk

Poor Moo write it down for him and glue it to his hand so he doesn't forget or something

I'd be upset to

I am still so angry, fuming tbh

how moo?

She is asleep with me on the sofa, as she should have been for the past 24hrs. She had her tea and then limped about so I picked her up onto the sofa. I am so angry I could cry

3 days with so much progress, wasted

keep her in for a week

Poor Moo, she must be exhausted. I wonder if she pulled a muscle or something during those marathon walks?

I would, thats the problem, I am at work 9-6, I asked him to just pop her out for 20mins! What part of that was lost in conversation! Sorry, so so cross

poor moo

Big hug to Janey to help her feel better ><

Every time I watch her move now I am even more annoyed, she just struggled off the sofa, I am one p1ssed off owner, I text and said don't worry tomorrow, got one back saying 'sorry, tried my best'.

What to make it worse Thank you very much!

Hi Janey

I do sympathise with you and Moo. You entrusted your dog's care to a friend and it seems he has over-exercised her and naturally you are cross with him and distressed for your dog. As Staffs are so exuberant maybe he thought he was doing her a favour in exercising her to the max (just making excuses for your friend here I know and giving him the benefit of the doubt).

Let's hope it is "just" a pulled muscle - I really would advise that you take her to the vet for a checkout. meanwhile (Sunday) as much rest as Moo will take.

I know you'll keep us updated - hoping for the best for Moo.

Thanks Lynda, I know he was doing his best but when you have stressed to someone with regards to your dogs care and it has been ignored then it does make you kinda angry.

He hasn't exersized her to the max, but done a minimum in his eyes, its just the wording of 20mins walks didn't sink in! Moo usually has 3/4 hrs walks a day so to limit it to 3 x 20 mins has been hard, I have now had all that work undone. And yes I have toyed with the vets but she had improved 100% and all a vet is gonna do is give an anti inflam and tell me to keep her off it! Which I was successfully doing hence rather p1ssed its back to square 1.

Good to hear that Moo has improved 100%. anti-inflammatories sound like a good idea if Moo has pulled or torn a muscle (and I speak from personal human experience!)

Do let us know how Moo gets on.

And oh, perhaps find another dog walker who listens to and obeys your instructions? Don't break friends with your old dog-walker tho

How are you and Moo today?

She is better than yesterday, well back to square 1 of keeping her in again though. I think its the vets on my day off now for sure, thanks for asking

How is Moo today Janey? Has the limping/struggling off the sofa gone? I'm hoping so.

Cheers for asking Lynda, her limp has vastly improved no thanks to saturday! It is barely noticeable but I'm still keeping her onlead and doing short walks for a little bit longer Xx

Pleased to that Moo is improving if only slowly. Take it steady best policy

Cheers Kathy, how long do I leave it, I was thinking another week, but am beggining to feel sorry for her lol Xx

did you get the other issue sorted out ??

Other issue? Xx

Great to hear of the improvement Janey, must be a relief. xx

Great news on the improvements and how are you feeling Janey?

I'm fine I never stay angry for long Xx

Alcohol is great isn't it

Keeps me calm lol
