It sounds like you are doing ok. If she shows pain, I would reduce the amount of exercise, and give her a baby asprine. My boy ofa's with moderate HD, and I have been advised to keep working him but not to do the more advanced stuff that can be harder on joints like too much jumping, rubble piles, steep stairs, exc (he is a SAR dog). Gluccosomine is supposed to help slow the progression of the disease. I give him raw chicken backs, necks and wings (supposed to be very high in Gluccosomine).
BTW, a fair rating is considered passing and she may never develope symptoms. I was told that even with the moderate HD he may not develope symptoms, but we are still taking precautions. Poor guy jumps more now and higher than he used to (ok, maybe I just notice it more lol).
