DD, I should have realised what Dundee's problem was immediately because in the past I have had two male cattle dogs that did have prostate problems when females came in season. Worse when they are older boys by the way. Pencil thin droppings are the clue, although with Dundee it was confusing as he also had diarrhoea. Still, should have guessed. So, now my quandary is, should I risk giving Jarrah something to keep her out of season until I'm back on my feet, driving again, able to look after her following a surgical spey? There is a drug people used to use, methylprogesterone, which can be okay, in that when it wears off, she just comes back in season, OR if you are unlucky, it makes them sterile. That may not be unlucky for me as I think I'll surgically spey her anyway. I don't really want to do it before I go into hospital though, just in case anything goes wrong.
Those exercises are hard enough now, so trying not to think of the joy of doing them with a swollen, stapled up knee.
