 My little Toby has LP :(
Long story short..............Toby started limping last night. I thought it was a pulled muscle but thanks to "Dr. Jodi's" input (Megansmomma), she said it was probably luxating patella and she was right. She is such a godsend to me (and others I'm sure). Her knowledge is neverending and I'm grateful and lucky to have her as a friend. And a thank you to Lady Jane for her input as well. It is truly appreciated.
I took him to the vet this morning. Toby (puppy mill rescue) has Grade 3 in his left rear leg and Grade 1-2 in his right. Did blood work before prescribing anti-inflammatory. It came back all good and now he's on Rimadyl for two weeks. I feel so bad when I watch him walk and just want to carry him everywhere and love on him. I think it's bothering me more than it is him. It's so hard to keep the little stinker from playing and running but I'm doing my best. I'm keeping my fingers crossed he starts improving soon! |
