shoulder injury

[chris_NE]

we had a problem with our pup in feb with what we thought was a problem with his pad, he went the the vets and it was a shoulder problem, am some medication and some rest, we had him back out on walks after 2 weeks. we've not had a problem, or a twinge since, we've been limiting his walks so not to over strain him. after some retivies in the garden the injury has come back. the vet mentioned joint mince. has anyone else been through this, he's off back to the vets tomorrow morning for a check. any advice would be good. murphys just over 10months now

if it's recurring then he should be x-rayed to see exactly what's going on

thats what the vet said aswell, he's fine again this morning, he was okay later on yesterday aswell, he's had a good run about this morning, and no sign of anything.

Nicola's Tilly had a recurring shoulder problem so it could be something like that?
