Everytime we take her to the vet they just say to limit her exercise which is what we have been doing and she's still limping. She was given a course of anti-inflammatories at the start but took a bad reaction to them. She was vomiting and pooing a lot of blood so she was given stomach tablets to correct that. But she is still limping and it can be quite bad after a long rest. I'm really concerned

Hi & welcome to the forum.

Does she limp worse at certain times, or is it all the time? Does restricting her exercise help? Which leg does she limp on & is there a particularly sore point?

To be honest, your vets don't sound very helpful - could you get a second opinion if there is another vet in the area?
