I massaged her leg for a bit and the limping got better but didn't go away until later in the day. Since then, this has same thing has happened about twice on other occasions. What could this be? She is walking perfectly fine right now. Should she see a vet? Is it a leg cramp? Are leg problems common in yorkies? Is is only 9 months old.
Thanks for any info! |
I agree that you should have her looked at for LP. I'm not sure what age it can be found at...I know it shows at various ages...
When I took Sophie in for her checkup...that was one of the things the vet did was check her knees...but then I've heard thats not a good judge because it was too early...she was 11wks...

I had a good friend who's toy poodle had it. He would run to get a ball and then yelp and skip a bit...and then be o.k. He had surgery on both knees and is no..."Perfect"...He is 4 yrs. old now. It was expensive surgery to have both knees done..but what a change for him.
Let us know how Esme is if you take her in...
