Ok so read that one and it will help you with this one.

So she is suffering more with her hip dysplasia as I said in that question.

So my question is...then I should not take her to the dogpark with my other dogs on sunday? Bc I know swimming does help the hips...and that is a big reason why I take her. And she LOVES the dog park. It makes her week.

But should I leave her at home then? And just take bella? 2 of my cousins might take their dogs too.

And Meri terrorizes the house when bella goes somewhere and she is left. Even for a 20 minute walk.

So should I leave her at home still?

I could try and find a way to keep her out of trouble. Which will be hard. But if I need to then I will.

So what is your suggestion?

Answer 1

Sorry I couldn't view your previous question. It just took me to your profile page and your questions and answers are private.  I'm assuming your great dane has hip dysplasia problems and you want to take her to the dog park but unsure if you should or not.  Is your dog on pain medication for the hips?  Can she swim at the dog park?  If she enjoys going to the park then take her along.  Keep an eye on her while there and if you see that she is beginning to favor one or more legs, then get her to slow down and maybe sit with you in the park and just watch.  Most dogs will not over exercise or cause themselves pain so if she begins to tire, she will probably just lay down and watch. I know when my dog gets tired at the dog park he finds a place to plopp down and watch the action for awhile.
