thorne Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 My dog's my family. My Mix is limping for some reason. I can't see anything wrong he don't wence or anything when i touch him. I'm heading to the vet in the morning. We had noticed a few days ago a very minor limp and it was only sometimes. Maybe playing to hard. He had been doing some jumping recently to catch frissbee's in the air. Damn. Should have took him friday. I feel bad for him. Feel like a fail parent .

thorne Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I carried him upstairs and layed him on some pillows. I'm going to try and sleep. I feel pretty crappy. I hope he's fine. He don't look happy atm. He never not looks happy. Anyone who knows drake will tell you he is always happy. I don't think it life threatning by any means. But to know i left him in discomfort my time then i could have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 My shelty limps every once in a while, usually after being very active and the next day she is fine, see if he still limps in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 give him a muscle relaxer or a vicodin. He'll be fine after that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 If you hurt drake I'll make sure you regret it. I knew I should have stolen him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Probably an ACL. If that is the case, get a lateral suture at Gahanna Animal Hospital (least $). And, keep in mind that if one side popped, the other will too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Our vet is not open yet . I'll kep trying. he is still favoring his leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 you can test the ACL. Grab his lower leg by his knee, and his upper leg by his knee. move the lower forward and the upper backward (back and forth) if the knee moves like a drawer "drawering" then the acl is gone.

LOL when my knee doc tested my ACL being toast, I almost bit him, I'd be careful, that shit hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
