Hi welcome from us and Miley

Hi & welcome.

Any questions, just ask - we're not experts, but there's a lot of experience & support here!

hi guys / thanks 4 replys .. her name is hope she is so loverly . just where getting a little worried about her/ she fine most of day yest .. then noticed her limping . came down this morning she giddy and seemed fine went 4 a small walk and just a few limps mainly wen she stud in water / she now been sleeping since 7.30 and does not want 2 move at all

Did you get her from a rescue? Did they tell you of any injuries or limp? The sleepiness dosen't sound normal to me, not for a young pup.. I am not very experienced in things like this but I would consider taking her for a checkup with the vet. Hopefully some of our more experienced members will be able to offer some better advice

I would phone the rescue centre immediately & ask if there were any problems, then make an appointment at your vets. Sleeping for that long isn't really normal, although she might be one of those dogs that sleeps off anxiety. I'd be a little concerned about the limp as well.

Is she eating & drinking ok?

Hiya from me & Moo

she was eating and drinking normal yest and this morning / but she not even take a treat now / phoned the center back they said she seemed fine . not inpressed with them .they said get vet 2 cheak her out in 3 weeks wen she go 4 next injection/ just tried 2 take her out but she rearly not want 2 go . know this sounds funny but she limping on other

other side now . she was with her brother at center could she just be pineing / she differant girl from yest /i,v touched and felt her back legs and she shows no sign of pain

How is Hope doing today?? Any signs of the limp still ??

Hi and welcome from us and Suki

Hi from me and the kids , how is she doing today

Blue did this for the first week or so. He would just stand and shivver any time we took him outside for the toilet and when he walked outside he would have this limp that would go from one side to the other every 5 mins or so. I figured it was just an anxiety thing as the limp was pretty likely to get me to pick him up and check his feet/play with him.


just persisted with taking him outside an hes fine now.

took her to the vets the day after and she has kennel cough and a rare bone disease called panisteitis. its like arthritis but inside the bones not joints. treating her with pain relief and she should just grow out of it. there is no scientific proof of why dogs develop this disease and there is no cure.

Oh no, poor Hope
