Limping

[Scooby4]

I would keep an eye on that tumor. It could be growing and knocking her leg out of socket a bit. Her limp may be because of adjusting to the "new" adjustment. That would make her muscles sore until they compensate.
I would compare it to the same feeling you may have when walking on crutches for the first time. Your arms are just held out a bit and the muscles are adjusting. The dog may feel better in a week.
I would consider having that fatty tumor removed in the future. It is causing the problem but it may be something that can work out a bit until proper treatment. We all live with aches and pains that we wait until it's necessary to get them fixed. I waited several months for surgery for a broken ankle!
So just watch the tumor and make sure it doesn't harden!

Well she's limping worse today

The vet said not to remove the tumors because she has so many and they will just reappear ina few months anyway. She's too old to undergo "unneccesary" surgery right now.

I have some pain reliver from the vet for her and lets see what that does.

My dogs have done that alot exspecially my Newf they are different being a big dog now when i got her she was 6 months old and the breeder told me that they are not supposed to go down stairs until she is atleast 10 months point to my story we had to get arial rugs for our home because it is all hardwood and is not good on there hips and they dont have as much traction as the would walking around on carpet,She started limping around one day so we took her to the vets and his words were she most likely gave herself a charlie horse (easiest way he could explain it) i wouldnt worry too to much but then again we always do when it comes to our babies
