...her leg. Has your dog done this?
Lunch time yesterday, Pip started to bite her leg, just above her paw pad. She refused to walk, looked scared/in pain. Wanted to be held. She then started biting her knee and took one bite of her stomach.
We checked over her leg, in case she'd picked up a thorn or something. Of course we took her to the vet that afternoon. He checked her leg over very thoroughly and said there was nothing wrong with it.
He started to tell us of a case he claimed was similar. He'd been called to home visit to put a German Shepherd to sleep, as it could no longer walk. He knocked on the door and it came to the door barking. Which confused him, he been told it couldn't move. Mostly it wouldn't leave it's bed. Turned out dog needed it's anal glands emptying and problem was solved. Owners hadn't even taken it to a vet to find the problem.
Vet then emptied Pip's anal glands. She seems fine now and lot happier. She never scooted on the floor, as you see some dogs, when they have anal problems. Have you heard of dogs biting their leg and tummy when they have a full anal glands?
