Oldie has no muscle along back...

[JackDaniels1]

..... asked vet in passing to check out my oldie, she commented that his weight is ok, ie, ribs covered but has no muscle along his back. What does this mean? should i be doing anything for him? Thanks

I kept mine in work as long as possible to keep her fit and muscled. She still does some carrot stretches now to keep supple.

Anyone else? Should I try and do something with him, ie, a little bit of work?

How old is he and what does he do? x

Tough one really, how old is old and is he sound ? Muscle is always lost as they get older, if he is happy and doing well there isn't much reason to change it imo. Maybe a few in hand walks with hills and stuff would help, but only if he is happy and sound enough to do it.
