Just wondering if anyone has experienced this with thier dog?
I'm a syndicate member at a local shoot where we have had a small walked up day today. I have a 5 year old springer spainel and as a rule I leave him at home on shoot days as he's not steady enough to be a peg dog. For small walked up days though he's perfect.
Half way through the shoot I saw him emerge from the bottom of a ditch through a bramble hedge wobbling about as if he had been shot!! He obviously hadn't but he was struggling to put one leg in front of the other!! Whilst trying to way up how I was going to carry the dog back to the truck with all the rest of my clobber and after some few minuets he seemed perfectly ok. He then carried on the day as normal, and whilst flighting later on went on to retrieve a good few ducks well out of the pit?? He's now buggered and lying down in his run but seems ok... Hes a big fit dog, never done this before?? If theres such thing as wobbly dog syndrome he had it....
Any ideas???
