skycat 6,174 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Hope you give the dog a chance: looks a nice sort. Don't let it run at all for at least a month: with weak muscles, soft tendons and ligaments it will very likely damage itself permanently if you let it run at all before everything has a chance to get stronger. Take the dog out on the lead for 20 minutes at a time, twice a day, just walking it. Gradually build up to an hour's walk at a time, but don't be tempted to let it run until you can see that the muscles have built up a lot more. More damage is done running a very unfit dog than by anything else. Steady walking is the way to over all fitness: and no chasing anything at all: he could tear those muscles very easily at the moment. He will get less clumsy once his body is fit and he can put one foot in front of the other without falling about: his brain also has to learn how to move his body because being stuck in a kennel all his life, he won't have learned how to run, balance and move properly. 2 Quote Link to post
