I would be a little concerned about her not swimming correctly due to having bone growth issues. Buster came from a bad breeder and his leg bones are improperly formed. He was diagnosed at one as having LP in his back legs and incorrectly formed front legs so he has arthritis in his front legs. When I took him into the Orthopedic Vet for his LP consult they also checked his front legs and determined the misalignment of his wrists. He looks a little bow legged in front. It was determined his front legs issues could not be resolved surgically. The Surgeon told me that running and playing especially running around corners on wood/lino floors puts a lot of pressure on Busters knees and can be painful for him and perhaps make his knee issues worse. I have found with Buster if he is reluctant to do something or holds up a paw that he is experiencing pain.
