Either the OP just got very upset to see the pup having a problem with her leg OR there was something else going on. At least that is what I believe....I suppose there is a first time for everything.
As for LP getting worse, actually it does not have to be so. I have had many pups stay at a certain grade for long periods of time and never need any type of treatment. One must keep the pup's weight within normal guidelines and prevent him/her from jumping on and off of furnitured. Those things will help to preserve the knee and prevent the LP from getting worse. |
your very lucky you never had to see your dog not be able to stand it is very scary and upsetting.
Yes i was upset to see her not becasue her leg hurt but beacuse when you went to stand her up she plopped rightback down and to get around she was dragging her back half so yes that did upset me.
Yesterday she wasnt herself could stand and walk but if she was laying on the floor and wanted something she would drag her bottom half and scoot across the floor but then get up and walk in the next blink of the eye like a little hypocondriact..lol and playing it up
Others siad she is very smart why bother standing on it if it hurts.
Today she is fine like nothing was ever wrong.
Thank you for the info on how to prevent it from getting worse.
