Id been noticing Zach had been limping on his front paw and holding it up. When I took him to the vet the limp was not there but they took an xray anyway to make sure and saw nothing. They didn't want to give him anything, A few days later he started limping again so I bought him back to the vet. As soon as he walked into the vet's office he stopped limping again. The vet gave him a muscle relaxer or something. This worked for a couple of days and then he started limping again. The vet suggested that I take him to an othopedic vet. He kept him there for a few hours and called me to say that there is nothing there. Now he's limping again where I do go from here. It's not bothering him because he runs like a racing dog, it seems to bother him when he's lying to down for some time and gets up but other than that, he's totally active.
Anybody have any ideas?
