I've had this experience with Maggie (black lab mix who was 5yrs at the time). Did your Vet discontinue the Rimadyl or did you chose to discontinue it?
Rimadyl is a pain med but it also is a anti inflamitory that help the muscle heal while the dog rests. It may be better to continue with it at a reduced dosage. Even thought
the dog walks better doesn't mean the muscle isn't still inflamed & sore. It's very possible to re-injure the leg with exercise. It is possible to heal up with out surgery (my Vet
said (her Golden did) and Maggie can even run now with out limping afterwards. I almost hate to write how well she healed b/c I don't want to jinx her. I wish you the best
of luck with Vallis.
