She has been limping off and on for a few weeks now so I finally took her in.
The vet said it felt like she just sprained her knee. Which is good news because the alternative would be a torn cruciate. And I know a few PTers knows what that's like. It's bad enough I'm supposed to have her get lots of rest (yeah right!), but I couldn't imagine her not being able to run around at all. She lives to run the yard and protect the house from anything that moves. In fact, she does that with no problem even now. It's usually when she's been laying down for a while and gets up that she limps.
Anyway, we've got her on an inflammatory med for 14 days. If it doesn't improve in 2 weeks then she'll have to go back for xrays.
So, if you wouldn't mind keeping her in your thoughts and prayers that she is all better in two weeks, I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you all.
