happened ? |
We had an experience with this - Chanel yelped in the yard one day while running to the fence - I couldn't see a bite nor do I think she stumbled and sprained anything -the ONLY thing I thought it could have been was a bee - or she DID twist her little back leg -
I put her right into a warm bath..... and checked her pads and feet - then her legs and never found the source of her pain.
this happened at the beginning of the summer and I watched her very carefully - nothing since - of course I was thinking LP or some debilitating illness would be the cause and was very very worried -but she walked ok...the worst was she would cry when I picked her up - This was only a couple of days.
IF your Lexi continues to cry while walking - I WOULD call your vet - I don't want to scare anyone but LP can come on without us knowing it - from what I've read about it - they have trouble jumping and will cry in pain when pressure is on the sore leg(s)....but your baby could have stepped on something too - It's so hard to tell with these guys....
I hope she feels better and it was just a bite or something - at least that will go away on it's own
