Bursitis

Menina and I have been training with Ace Russell for about five month's at Meadowbrooke Kennels. It has been so incredibly fun finding out what we can do. We have plans to start competing in March starting with the Tennessee Valley Kennel Club Agility Trial at Harriman, TN on March 19 - exactly four weeks from today. We were rocking and rolling until last weekend when a sore leg turned into a painful limp. Upon closer examination, I found a severely swollen joint on her back right leg. X-rays by our local vet assured us the next day that no bones were broken. She diagnosed bursitis (fluid buildup on the bursa) in the tarsus or the dog's "heel" equivalent.

Our hope is that this will heal with anti-inflammatory medication, rest, and ice. Please wish us the best, we have lots we want to do.
