I have a feeling that she's in pain I need to get my vet on the phone right now can i or can't I
I noticed something in gingers demeanor I have a feeling that she's in pain any medical issues yes
she had surgery on the knee yes she had one done and she couldn't means the other one that she does
yes but she's walking fine and all that stuff she feels pain no you know I don't know my concern is
that that knee is causing her pain which is making her irritable I believe that it hurt
didn't it darling I saw that what happened she just stopped because it hurt and she went round
to her back ginger you're in pain I can see that limb dogs will aggress a lot if they feel pain and
that pain causes irritability we need to have the veterinarian come over I need to get my bed on the
farm right now because I'm worried about ginger Cindy how are you I think it's a like thinking
okay is Victoria here hey I'm fine thank you um I don't want to be putting her through her paces
when she's in pain I want to move forward safely I want to be cautious I don't want to cause any more
pain to ginger so I really need the veterinarians advice on how to proceed I'm with Victoria now dog
training so the question is can i or can't I yes she is walking on it but if she is limping
after letting ginger rest for the remainder of the evening Victoria begins the next day
addressing gingers knee problem had a lot of problems with her knee she's already had knee
surgery or one now she needs surgery on the other but I'm concerned that she's overweight I think
the weight is putting pressure on an already damaged knee and I want her to be able to get
exercise that is going to be beneficial for her but it's not gonna hurt her knee so hydrotherapy
is where it's at but before Victoria proceeds with her plan she has to clear it with gingers
personal veterinarian she's going to eventually need surgery on her leg to fix her luxating
patella if we can do light training with her and you know the water therapy is really good for her
if ginger agrees to it Jill I arrive there's water everywhere and my dog does not like the
water gingers scared to death she's shaking like a leaf so I wanted to bring Jill here and we've
got ginger in the bag I wanted to give Jill some kind of outlet to exercise so without walking her
exercising in the water it's a great low-impact and no impact exercise it burns a lot of calories
without putting pressure on those joints and she's not a big water dog I don't think this
is gonna work she doesn't like to sweat okay I'm actually if you wouldn't mind holding her
Ginger's my baby I don't want to make her do something she doesn't want to do hold on a
second so you're gonna this thing's filling up my buddy hold your water
they had these like little bathtubs and the dog is standing and the water starts to fill up sort of
like the Titanic did you was freaked out takes him a few minutes to get a rhythm once they do
I'll see how she's using it she has a luxating patella which is pretty calf it's popping out
of the groove on her lawn on the bone of her legs it's the right leg okay she's kind of leaning to
this side and then the therapist started rubbing her tushy her muscles are very strong on her left
side and there is some atrophy on the right hind so she's definitely shifting her weight to her
strong leg on the left and probably also forward a little bit I'm like in shock right now she's
like letting you hold her I've had her but after a while she began to relax and then she put it
on again and just started to run straight I was shocked it's really unbelievable to watch she
was like tilted and then she got straight this is so awesome I'm like only in New York oh yeah
but you still have work to do so I thought the little pool was it but then the trainer said now
we couldn't come to the big pool on like wait a minute I thought we'd done she just a little
nervous I mean she's I don't know if this is gonna be okay I may have to pull her out of the pool
it's okay you're a good sweater I'm watching her little eyeballs bug out of her head and
I thought she was gonna jump out of her skin but then there was sort of a calmness transformation
I think she started to like it in fact I know she started to like it like a champion at the
Olympics ginger was just like longing for running for it slow motion it's like go
ginger go go did you go it took a picture thinking that this could be my holiday card
next year you're not scared you're not gonna drown the life vests is saving you
good girl you're gonna swim to mommy do you have a car service that picks up and takes
dogs here sure you do right what I'm really excited about is the behavioral effects of
this exercise because when reactive dogs as she is powerful exercise they become less reactive
she's definitely coming back and I think this is gonna be part of her I get the routine so I'm
gonna get our lifejacket who really couldn't live director and I'm gonna take us on all right ginger
listen I'm very stressed out lately since Victoria left us okay you've been like a nightmare a little
bit in last week it's like reverted back so I'm thinking like your little stress and your little
massage rather than follow Victoria's prescription for hydrotherapy and behavior training don't be
scared Jill has decided to try something different I thought it'd be nice to bring my friend and with
me while I let ginger get her first massage oh yeah that's hot before she might on this pillow
she's getting really nervous no my auntie's okay let go yeah you got I shall be on my lap
just barking at you were barking even barking at you and I'm not sure we're supposed to do get her
shot at Daniel's on valium I need to see that's dog training for Victoria has been on my mind all
week ever since ginger started deteriorating it's a big commitment it really is I just have to find
the time and I haven't yet but I promised her I would Jill's unable to stick to the training
but she's been ratted out I made a phone call and found that she had taken ginger to the spa
good to meet you and ginger was having a massage I really don't think she was enjoying it that
much ginger is not a dog that likes to be touched by anybody else except Jill thank you,
okay so this is what's been going on she's barking barking barking take a seat so that you can sit
down with that um all right that's why I'm stuck at I what about the hydrotherapy you didn't do it
yet because I wanted to take her and I but I know I've been travelling and I guess it didn't just
not on track because Jill hasn't put in the time and the work with ginger so just go back to what
she was like before I had my second chance with Victoria and all I can think is please be a third
