On a walk and let her of the lead, she went to fetch her ball and then collapsed and just lay on the path. I said to a wonderful lady who stopped with me that she had been running this morning already and then her legs had given out and she had to sit down for 20 minutes.
The lady asked was her collar to tight or did she have a heart murmer. I undid her collar checked her throat and eventually she perked up so I decided to take he home and call the vet.
Off course I watched her closely on the way home and she started looking odd again. It was her collar. I could barely get my finger under it. We went the rest of the way home without it.
A catch had broken on it, so every time she pulled on the lead or moved it was working tighter and tighter, slowly strangling her
I have no excuse. You should check your dogs collar fits regularly, I know this. My laziness and complacency caused her to collapse, unable to breathe.
