Grace was involved in a very traumatic accident as a puppy.She is six this year and has always had trouble with her back since the accident.But its worse this year.She is on cortaflex powder and inflamex which definately helps.She has lost weight recently which was intentional but now she does not have the fat and muscle around the spine that she had.I now wonder if the spine would be more stable if she were stronger in her back muscles and a little fatter??? :blink: My question is how do I build up her back muscles and do I feed her a bit more to help create the muscle she needs when exercising her.When I worked as a groom I worked the horses up hill at a slow walk to build back muscles,does anyone know if this would work on a dog??Obviously I would not be riding Grace (w00t) .Any suggestions welcome.The picture is of Grace last summer when she was a bit fatter and less trouble with her back.I have also bought an excellent heat pad from boots its a square one that wraps over her back its brill :thumbsup:
