Limping whippet

Brain games are tiring for dogs whose exercise has to be restricted (actually they are tiring for dogs who don't need to have restricted exercise too). Have a look at Kikopup on YouTube for ideas and tips. Also have a look at Golden Paste which is a brilliant anti-inflammatory.

 

Stuffed Kongs are good boredom busters. Any kind of chewing is good for stress reduction. As above with kikopup. You can teach any kind of non mobile trick such as lying flat, lying prone, sit, stay, touch a contact with nose etc.

Have you thought about asking for a referral to an ACPAT physiotherapist? We have a brilliant place near us where they offer acupuncture, which is administered by a vet, hydrotherapy, chiropractic and physiotherapy. My old lurcher and not so old Whippet were regular visitors for various treatments.

The Whippet had a similar injury to your dog and it turned out she had put her pelvis out very slightly. The acupuncture vet spotted it as she is so experienced in seeing injured dog and horses.
