Tennessee drop-off: check! Luxating Patella diagnosis: double-check. Ali and Shay are back from a *whirlwind* (pun intended) road trip to Tennessee, where they dropped off Mimic for herding camp and then dove headfirst into addressing her recent Grade 2 Luxating Patella diagnosis. This episode is a candid conversation about the realities of dog health, the importance of breeder support, and the strength found in community when facing unexpected health issues in our dogs.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- LP 101: What is Luxating Patella? We break down the symptoms, the types, and genetic vs. injury-induced causes.
- Medical Maze: Multiple misdiagnoses and the frustrating search for reliable information. How many vets, what medical work was done, and the emotional toll of the journey.
- Rehab & Reality: Ali discusses Mimic's rehab recommendations, activity clearance, and the game plan for the future. What does this mean for her future in agility or other dog sports?
- Finding Your Pack: Finding support in unexpected places and tackling 'taboo' subjects in the dog sport world.
- Ali's Advice: Resources she wished she had, the community she found, and the advice she’d give to anyone facing similar challenges.
We're not experts, but we're here to share the raw, unfiltered reality of life with Border Collies – the highs, the lows, and everything in between. So, grab your coffee (or your tissues), and let's get Borderline Obsessed.
