I posted a few days ago about my lola and I was resting her for 6 weeks due to a hip issue. She started to limp again but i need to know whether or not I should start the rest time over again which means walks only to potty and on a leash or should I realize that Lola is going to have this hip issue(like most bullies) and put her on a 3-4 walk per day routine so that I can build up the muscle in her hips and keep the weight off.. All of which will help manage her hip issue... I just have a feeling that regarldess of the rest period the damage may be done and right now at 2 years old i really dont want to put her down the surgery path..
My gut feeling is if I rest her for another 6 weeks she will pick up some weight and lose more strenght in that leg.. I can already see the other leg has more muscle development.
thanks and hope everyone is having a happy/safe holiday
