Well Zoomy is definitely feeling more energetic! She's been in and out like a jack-in-the-box this morning. Her sores across her back are looking healthier, but still quite tender. She is continuing to lose chunks of hair as the scabs from the rash come loose; but the good part of that quite gross description is that it is healthy looking skin under those scabs rather than the ulcerated sores we had earlier in the week. Now to watch to see if the hair is starting to regrow.
Missy came out of her crate this morning without limping, but after following Zoom out of the house at a million miles an hour she was limping again. [And of course I thought "Stupid handler; Bang head here!!!]. So she's back in her crate again now. I'm still not sure what is causing her soreness, but it seems that a few days of crate rest is going to assist rather than be detrimental. Then we'll try for some swimming and controlled exercise to see how she's distributing her weight.
In the meantime Jonty and I will continue to work on our shaped retrieve and we'll also do a few "wild" 123 games each day to improve his acceleration towards me. When I'm happier with his drive we'll tackle the weaves again, slightly off-setting the 2x2's so that we can work on getting a better stride pattern and rhythm happening again.
Entries need to be posted for the ADAA competition being hosted at ADCQ today... I'll send off entries for Missy and cross my fingers. Zoom won't be fit enough by then.
