I need help! I would like to know what you guys think. About a week ago Bella who is 2 1/2 pounds was playing with my peke-a-poo who is about 10 pounds (as they always have) and something happened where Bella starting screaming in pain. I don't know exactly what happened between them because they have always played together without incident. I picked her up and cradled her and she stopped crying. However, when I put her on the floor she couldn't keep her balance and fell. Seems both of her back legs where hurt. Well I was mortified! I took her to the vet right away and vet took x-rays to rule out broken legs, but did notice her legs were stiff. The vet gave her a shot of anti-inflammatory. She did notice a little something in the x-ray and says she cannot rule out Legg Perthes. She doesn't think this what is causing the pain at the moment, but says that she wants Bella to have x-rays again in two months "just to be safe". Well, the next day after the shot she was doing great, almost back to normal. Well now she doesn't want to eat very much and doesn't want to play either. She kind of just lays around. Do you guys thinks it's because she's still sore? It just doesn't make sense that the day after the shots she was so energetic and now she seems so sad. Also, she was spayed two weeks ago. Do you think she could still be sore from that? |
