Laurie S. Coger, DVM, CVCP

Debbie,

Our visit with Dr. Coger was wonderful! She was really great with Maverick and spent a good 35 minutes with him, which I loved! She said he’s got great extension, a good square, solid hind quarters – it’s just his front end that is the problem area. Very narrow chest and shoulders are somewhat straighter than you want for agility.

Maverick

I read up a lot about that and it seems “the straighter the shoulders, the more upright they carry their necks for that beautiful look in the show ring” ugh! But, with regular adjustments and laser treatments, he’ll be fine.

Dr Coger told me that you will be at the Cluster and I would like to set up a time to bring him over to you for an evaluation. I feel that Maverick is now in good hands going to someone that is affiliated with you.

Thank you and see you at the Cluster!

Deb
