Has she jumped on or off anything lately? ran up or down stairs? fallen or slipped? rough play session? It may be bothering her because of PT yesterday or if its really cold today that could be bothering it as well. Before the limp was she using her leg normally or she is still toe-touching or lightly putting it down?
It may be nothing to worry about if she's just tired from yesterday or effected by the weather but then again it could be something. If I were you I'd crate her for the rest of the night so she rests that leg and then she how she is in the morning. If its still bothering her then I'd take her in for a recheck to make sure the surgery site is ok. |
They did LP surgery and they fixed her ACL that had a partial tear. Im not really sure what method he used. She has not jumped at all I am crazy careful to make sure she hasn't. She hasn't been up or down any stairs either. It was actually 60 degrees today (its crazy its January lol). She was doing great on her leg walking normal on it for over a week until today. I have been keeping her in her pen pretty much all of the time except for the walks and to go out to go potty so hopefully its just sore because of pt I really don't know when else she could have done anything to it that's why I am being such a worry wort. I will call the Orthopedic surgeons office tomorrow morning is shes still limping.
