Brian-911 210 Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Had her about a week now, she's 6 months but she's very shy, don't think she's had anything done with her or had much if any interaction with people. She's very chilled out just lays in her bed and doesn't move. Do you think she just needs some time to settle in? Plus I didn't notice when I got her but her middle toes flat, I thought it had been broken but the vet said it's the tendon on it gone. Seems to have healed up fine she runs and turns on it fine, anyone ever had dog with this problem? And if so was all okay? Cheers Quote Link to post

Lennard 10 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Give the dog time indeed, she has been imprinted by her former life. Make sure that some sort of ailness is not causing the behaviour. If she is not ill, try to do fun stuff. Maybe she is sensitive to ball throwing, or some good mouse digging and killing. Hook up with another young dog in the neighbourhood that is not aggressive. I have never seen a tendon problem but when she can run with it she can run. all the best, L Quote Link to post
Brian-911 210 Posted August 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Well had her out with me other dog and she runs about with her happy as Larry so don't think it's illness. Just think she needs more time Quote Link to post
KittleRox 2,147 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Sound s like maybe she,s not been out regular, I would take it easy with her for a few months with the excersise, build her up gently, get the strength back in her, don,t want to overdo it and risk permanent damage to her feet Quote Link to post
