maybe if you want a referral and it's a good idea to get regular vets checks anyway.....these are a couple of day to day things I would suggest...
..a number of small walks rather than long ones,
..not too much exercise on hard surfaces that put pressure on joints, grass is better,
..if she gets wet dry her off rather than let her sit about cold and wet.

she gets 3 to 4 walks a day depending if i'm off work or not. they range from half an hour to an hour and a half, do you think maybe i'm over-doing it for her and maybe reduce them to 4 or 5 half hour walks? think i'll book her in the vets next week for an oap check!
bless her!
