Hello Tom,
While walking my 14 month dog pup through the field he spotted something and took off-long story short i found him about a mile away
and was totally exhausted, could hardly walk. I cooled him, gave him electrolytes and butter and got him on drip later that evening as vet was on a call out. he got acidosis, was very sore for week and then lost all his back. Two question may I ask
1/ is it ok to let him free gallop and stretch his legs-let him do whatever he wants(hes bouncing around-all soreness gone)
2/ could he be damaged for life or do they overcome this with time-what should we be expecting/what should i do.
throughout all this the dog was kept hydrated the whole time and blood tests where taken 10 hours after run and they were reading perfect.skin was also v good
