Little Twizzle came to see me after an accident with another dog a couple of years back left him moving out of balance and suffering intermittent pain and muscle wastage.

He is now much fitter and has his bounce back thanks to being back in good balance.

When he was 6 years old he begun to show a marked and sudden reduction in activity along with signs of pain (stiffness when getting up / reluctance to use the stairs and jump into the car and some grumbling when he was touched or needed to be picked up – i.e., to get him into the car).
