I am sorry I have not updated this thread! I almost forgot I had already posted this! Annie is still limping a little on and off but has improved so much, I kept her with me. She has an appointment tomorrow for her last puppy shots and I will have him take a look. But right now, I think she is going to be fine. She is putting her weight (all 2 pounds of it) on it here and there, so I see so much improvement I think she will heal fine without intervention. She is even going up and down her little puppy steps today, where last night she just looked at me, like "help!"
She shows no pain when I gently press up and down from toe to hip. Nails look good, joints move without any discomfort. I will ask the vet about possible disk injury. That is what happend to my Jack Russell. She limped from time to time and we xrayed her whole body when she was in for dental. The leg and hip were perfect, no arthritis or anything, but he noticed two vertebraes too close together in the neck area. He said it wsa probably and old injury and when she is over-active, it gets inflammed causing her to limp. Don't want to have ot xray Annie, but I will see if he thinks it possible.
Don't you just love puppies! I can't tell you what she does for me. She is just so sweet, so loving! Even hurting last night, she just was the sweetest thing ever! |
