    Limping

    I noticed Josie has a slight limp on her back leg. I checked her legs and paws and didn't see/feel anythig that would make her sore (and she didn't seem to have a tender spot) I'll have to take her to the vet tomorrow if she's still limping as Ihave a lab tonight I can't miss (3 hours ) and it's to late to get her an appointment today.

    Anyone know why she might be limping? She IS an older lab..you don't think it could be hip dysplasia?? I don't know anything about that disease though...

    Does she have arthritis at all? I thought I remember you saying she does, or maybe i'm mistaking her with someone else. If she does, maybe it's sore from the cold? I know bones sometimes give pain from could weather. And if she doesn't have it, possibly she's developing it?

    Hope she feels better. Our poor girls.

    Not that I know of, unless it's new..but she doesn't seem stiff other than her leg

    I think they need to snuggle together to feel better

    Duke's hip displaysia gets a lot worse in cold weather. I'm sorry you can't take her to the vet tonight. I hope it's not serious and you can get some medication to make the pain go away. Give her a hug from me.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Sorry to hear this, Audrey Hip dysplasia is actually a disease of younger dogs, which results in arthritis later in life. If she hasn't limped in the past, chances are it's not that. It might be a tad of arthritis or hopefully, a strain. If it is arthritis, there are a lot of options available to make her more comfortable, e.g. Glucosamie, Etogesic, buffered aspirin and some more potent drugs too. I have to keep Cody on the thinner side to minimize the weight bearing on her right leg. Please check back after the vet visit and give beautiful Jo and Zeke, a hug for me! Paws crossed!

    She wasn't limping today, the vet said her hips are find (but maybe is starting to get arthritis) or she could have had a pulled muscle
