Good morning all,
I have a 15 month old Black Lab. He is from working stock and I am training him as a gundog.
Yesterday the we went on a fairly long walk (about 5 miles). When we got home, and after a bit of a rest he had a little difficulty getting up and was limping quite badly. When I took him out this morning he was still limping but no where near as badly. This happens everytime we take him on a long walk. The limp dissapates over the next couple of days and he is back to normal again. I know the answer is "well don;t take him for long walks then" but I just wondered if anyone else had encountered this and if it is anything I should be concerned about?
Can you over exercise a Labrador??
P.S. He is not overweight.
Many thanks
