Lifting for a few seconds isn't a huge deal, esp. if they have LP. That's just one of the symptoms. If it continues or doesn't go away, there are other things that need to be ruled out. |
Like what? I knw I'm not a vet but its the same limp he does when his knee acts up. I know its colder and due to that his lp is worse. I ordered him the Cosequin again- he was on that about 2 yrs ago and it really helped his LP, he only lifted 90% of the time! |
How many times a week was he lifting if before the other day? It's still most likely LP if he's lifting it the same, just more often. But sudden onset of them doing it all the time - fractures, toe issues, nail issues, paw issues, pulled muscles, and CCL tear need to be ruled in/out. Pups with LP are at higher risk of tearing their cruciate ligament. If he is limping pretty consistently now and wasn't before he tripped, that's something a vet needs to feel for. And depending on what the problem is, he may benefit from pain meds. |
If he is having increased difficulty with it, he should be seen. Often the vets will prescribe and anti inflammatory like Metacam or Rimadyl for a couple of weeks. |
