skycat 6,174 Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 If its getting better, then you probably just did too much. An hour doing the sort of exercise you said is way too much, without a breather or slow work in between.. dogs just don't know when to stop so it is up to us to manage them. To my shame, I even managed to do too much with one of mine last summer: Sparrow, who is 5 years old, super fit and tough: she did too much swimming in a short space of time, like for 3/4 hour solid, fetching out of the lake, and she got something called 'limber tail'. Very miserable she was for a couple of days. I'd take it steadier in future and remember the water is still cold at this time of year so increases the likelihood of cramping up and exhaustion.

paulus 26 Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 when they over due it a little, because of levels of fitness or just blind detmination that chough is also combined with the throwing up of white frothy phlem. it normally all goes back to normal in an hour or two. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
