Stiff knee? Empty Stiff knee?

Post by asa-james Thu Aug 22 2013, 22:02

As I've posted elsewhere, Lola has started limping tonight, and seems uneasy on her rear right leg, when she's walking its almost like the knee is locked. I've had a good check, nothing is stiff or causing discomfort if I move it, so I'm happy it's probably just a small pull (few days of rest) but I've never seen her walk stiff legged before. Any clues?

I did get a short video, I'll upload it when I'm near my computer

Probably just a pull Asa. Try not to worry and let us see the vid.

Of course, if it goes on you'll know what to do. (Vet!)

It's possible that she's jarred or pulled/twisted her knee somehow. At the time, she may not have noticed it much, but joints often stiffen up if they've been jarred in any way - especially knee joints - making it look worse than it is. Hopefully it will clear up after some rest. If not, it might be worth getting a vet to check it. Smile

She's fine, mums had her out for a walk, she was bouncing round the house when I got home, seems to be happy on it. Just going to keep her easy for a couple more days to be sure Smile
