Right... if you are looking for a reason to contact her then don't call.

My dog often needs to have her hips manually manipulated and it took me a LONG time to learn how to do it as the vet taught me. It is SCARY as I know doing it the wrong way can cause more harm than good. If my H was watching her for the weekend I would NOT want him to try this unless he 110% knew what he was doing. I also would not want him to try and learn how via the Internet! No matter what was going on between us I would much rather he call if the vet was not available.

I guess I did a bit of projection there. Sorry!

Hope your dog is well!
