As above my old school vet advised against an op and advised rest and recoup for my spaniel and much to my surprise it worked it took over 3 months but she's 11 now and still puts in a shift at the beating.
I agree be careful with metacam my spaniel almost died this year she passed blood for nearly 24hrs apparently it can react with the bowel lining causing bleeding my vet was not at all surprised and said she had seen it before.
Yes I have had a similar experience. My greyhound took a bad reaction to his booster jab. Sorry to say he did die from multiple organ failure. Vet was straight up and said it was far from common but not as rare as the vaccination companies admit. Quite a lot of similar stories on the internet.
I just bought one of these.

Amazingly it was sunny today in Central Scotland and we tested it out was well pleased with it.
Welcome to my world.
As a gardener if I take away waste I have to fill in a waste transfer note, give a copy to the customer and then more paperwork at the dump.
No waste carriers license no dumping.
Its not the air temperature that matters its the soil temperature. it takes a while for the soil to warm up. Also if they do sprout then they will be above the soil early and vulnerable to frost.
best time is Autumn while the soil is still warm.
Push them in a sandy free draining soil, they should be rooted by spring when you can transplant them to where you want them.

I had an ex track dog that worked and ran at our local track with some success. So yes I think it is possible. The only thing I found was he often missed races due to injuries from working, indeed that's what killed him in the end.
