Coops, fibula problems are one of the common causes for dogs losing form, or running ordinary for a long time, as most mm don't check the fibula very carefully.

There's always a dog racing with an undetected cracked fibula and then one day it breaks a leg.

Always so important to go over the fibula area after each run as it can get tender.

Take it slowly with Bess, Coops, 3 weeks is about right, no earlier, keep on lead and apply bone radiol to the area.

She'll be right as rain.
