| When my Lulu did this, it ended up being luxating patellas. I suggest a visit to the vet to check for this.

| I'd have a vet take a look - it could be a soft tissue injury or something worse and she may need to be rested w/ medications for inflammation. Sometimes they hold the leg up and don't seem like they are in great pain, but that doesn't mean there is no pain at all.

| It's probably not this, but always want to throw this out there; Jackson had Lymes disease early 2010 and he randomly started limping. There had been a lot of snow, etc, so I thought maybe he slipped and injured something. It ended up being lymes after doing x-rays, exams, etc, we just did a simple lymes test and that's what it was -- affecting his joints. Hope Bella feels better soon.

| Maggie was playing in the back yard with her sisters and yelped/cried. Then she was holding her right rear leg up and wouldn't put it down. This went on for 2 days so we took her to the vet and she has grade 3 LP. The vet gave her a shot and some meds to come home with. We had to keep her crated or calm for a couple weeks. She has been fine since then, but we are SO afraid it will become a chronic problem and require surgery. We are being careful with her for now. This sounds like you may have the same problem. Good luck. Let us know what the vet says. |
