That sounds positive, I hope Monty soon makes a full recovery and can have a good run.

Yep - does indeed.  Good advise about the tennis balls... the movement induced by chasing them really isn't great for dogs with any kind of structural issue (try telling my girl that tho!) but a month without it won't do him any harm especially if it means he gets the all clear :)

Let us know how he gets on xx

One reason a dog can be such a comfort when you're feeling blue is that he doesn't try to find out why.  ~Author Unknown

Ah that sounds encouraging, a month may seem a long while, but if it means he will have no adverse effects then most likely for the best. Think I would hide the tennis (and all other) balls, so not to tease him. Maybe some tuggy toys would be better atm?

Thanks all, yes sounds fairly positive, so hopefully after the month we will see some improvement! [emoji4]


Love from Polly and Monty!
