My girl Amber seems very reluctant to go for walks or walk very far, seems to have got much worse since her season, she also had limber tail for a week or so, she doesnt seemed to have bounced back. Always seems bouncey and barky to go out until we get out then she is very fussy where she goes and shows very little interest in her surroundings. She is eating okay and shows no soreness in joints/ feet. I know she isnt overkeen on the weather the rain and muck underfoot. Has anyone elses dog showed any 'winter reluctance' . I am debating if I should get her a blood test, I seem to feel this as happened before and a blood test showed nothing????

How long ago was Ambers last blood test! I am not sure of her age, but if you are concerned maybe see the vet again.
We do worry about them so much.
If Amber is anything like me ( heaven forbid ;) this weather and all the rain has certainly made me reluctant to venture out....these cockers are so clever and as you say she doesn't like the weather. Harry certainly still is eager for his walks. But trying to get him in the garden when it is cold and wet is impossible and when you finally give him a push he certainly add to any recent flooding :shades:
