Hi, this is my first border collie and i was wondering if anyone had a dog with a similar situation. Taliesin is 10 mos and i started noticing last spring that when i took him for a walk i could occas hear his back toes (specifically the middle two toes) on both feet not clearing the sidewalk. The fur and the toenails are somewhat worn down. i definitely am concerned about HD and asked my vet. She asked if any pain = no, any neurological signs = no. i told her that he runs fast and low but doesnt do any stumbling. She said will keep a eye on it but thought that he might just be a lazy walker and just doesnt pick up his feet. In the house he tends to make a "swishing" sound with his feet. At 10 months he is still rather gawky, so any advice, comments or recommendations would be appreciated. thankyou
As one of the newer members of the BC boards, i want to add my thanks as well to all those who have tirelessly worked to promote the health and wellbeing of the border collie breed!
