Of course :) I really hope its nothing serious, Micki started limping when we went to agility classes and he still isn't able to do agility. The vet x-rayed his whole leg and found absolutely nothing wrong but he still limps from time to time but is usually only on rainy or cold days, he has also been getting arthritis pills (hes not even 4!) and he seems much better. Sorry to get off subject...Both of you will be in my thoughts, please keep us updated!!

Julie, Honey has a touch of arthritis in her back left leg and when she "overdoes" things, she limps just like you describe. Dr. Robinson diagnosed the arthritis about 3 years ago (Honey will be 7 in December). It may be what Daisy is dealing with as well. Usually a day of rest takes care of it for Honey, but I do completely understand your worries.

Keep us posted.

She took Bonnie to the vet and they took X-Rays of her paw up to the elbo and nothing showed up so they said it was arthritas (spelling looks wrong on that?) and gave her medicine for that. Time passed and she got worse and worse and Bonnie started chewing on her leg. She took her to another vet and he X-Rayed the WHOLE leg... She had bone cancer.

Peej has a limp from time to time and it appears to be his right front leg. I told his doctor about it and he said it sounds like arthritis, (he's almost 7) but now I think I want it x-rayed. :eek:

Thanks so much for the replies. :)

Daisy looks SO much better today. She's putting weight/pressure on that hind leg and the swelling is just about gone. She's back to her chipper self and wants to run around and play with Molly, definitely an improvement from yesterday, but I'm trying to reduce her activity until she's better. I have a good feeling she may have sprained/pulled something when she goes out in the yard every morning and tries to go after the birds in the trees.. or, Logan, like you mentioned, she may have just overdid something. I would like to still take her to the Vet just to be on the safe side, especially if we decide to go back to agility sometime in the future, but it looks like she's on the mend. :) We'll see how she is tomorrow.

And Staci, I'll try to get some new pictures up of the girls sometime tomorrow or over the weekend. Thanks for asking!

Julie

I'm glad Daisy is doing better. ^_^ Get well soon girl!

Aww, poor Dais.. :( Prayers are on the way! Glad she's feeling a little better. :) ((((HUGS))))
