Sigh. :(

Some of you may remember the thread I posted about a month ago about Daisy and her "problems" with agility classes. (http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=88447)

Well, she started limping again last night and doesn't seem to want to put much weight or pressure on one of her hind legs/foot. She's not her usual self at all and it also looks like she's been straining to get up and walk around. I've checked her paw pads for anything that may have gotten caught or stuck in there, and I haven't found anything. I'm HOPING she may have just sprained something, but I know something is definitely bothering her.

The closest day that we'll be able to take her to the vet is this Thursday, though I wish it could be sooner.

By the way, we will most likely be dropping out of agility class. I just don't have the time with school and other family problems that have been happening lately and as much as I don't want to do it, there isn't really any other choice right now.

So, if it isn't too much trouble to ask for, could you please keep my baby girl in your thoughts until then? I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Julie

I don't normally come over to the doggie section very much but have some free time so here I am.

IF the vet does not find anything in the paw, PLEASE have him/her X-Ray that WHOLE leg. I have a friend that had a wonderful dog and she started limping from time to time. The limping came more and more often and started getting real bad. 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.

Don't let this panic you but keep it in mind if they don't find anything wrong with the paw.

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.

I hope Daisy is alright!

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.
