Poorly leg!

Well poor tyke has hurt his leg again......going to go back the vets as we had to cut our walk short earlya as he started limping during it! He can not even get up the stairs its that bad......

What did he do?


Usually it just takes a few days of complete rest and some anti-inflams Xx

We went on the field for some off lead walking, as he wasnt great the over day we didnt go play wasnt in for long as got dark started road walking and i noticed it so came back, and now he mega stiff. Had a look and think its his knee but its hard to tell as when he hurt he lets me do owt and doesnt flinch!!

Have you been to the vets before about it? Sorry if you have said and I have forgotten Xx

A while back, pulled muscle they said but its happening too often now i know his weight doesn't help

Ok, you need to get the weight off, but from older posts your doing ok with that.

If it is a sprain then rest for a week should solve it along with anti-inflams.

If its recurring then is there are a certain thing your doing to make pressure on the joint? Moo can no longer play fetch as the stop and start makes her limp.

It may be something and nothing but I have Moo on Yumove (ebay) and Hills jd diet, both of which is aiding us.

Good luck at the vets but if you can afford/insured and they advise it maybe an x-ray if it has been an ongoing issue Xx

I would let it rest and than slowly build back to the normal routine to make sure it's fully healed

Must be frustrating for him having this , don't know much about it but rest sounds like good advice x
