    Thanks for the get well wishes, you guys.

    Kara, she's almost four years old, so she's physically done growing. I thought of arthritis, too.. the hind leg that she's having trouble with looks a little swollen as well, so she might have sprained/twisted something? She doesn't seem to be in any pain, she's just not her usual perky self.

    Thanks again, I'll keep you all updated.

    She may have twisted it wrong, have you recently practiced agility in the rain? I have seen dogs pull things on wet ramps, etc. You might want to try giving her a baby asprin, 81mg. I'm not sure on the dosage, so you may want to call your vet for that, or maybe someone else knows. It may give her some short time relief. But it's not something you can give her all the time. Other than that I would say bed rest, keep her quiet, crated if you can with potty walks outside on leash. No steps, etc. Let me know if I can help you in anyway, kisses to Daisy!
