pretty urgent-do yorkies get muscle cramps? Have anyone noticed their yorkies getting muscle spazes (cramps)? Zoe just had luxating patella surgery approx 2 months ago and today when he ran down the stairs to meet my mom he completely stopped...held his leg up and couldn't move. He looked like he was in so much pain and I realized that its his bad leg in which he got the surgery on. It took a few minutes but he seems to be pretty much back to normal. He's running around, jumping, barking, wanting to play. I did give him 4 small drops of pain killers - metacam because he did not have a good reaction to the other painkiller thats bad to the stomach. I took tomorrow morning off to take him to the vet but I may wait till tuesday to see how he does. Do you think his patella went out of place again or was it a muscle spaz? |
Just wondering... |
Oh yikes...I sure hope he didn't do injury to his leg! Maybe his kneecap went out of place for a while? Maybe you should try and restrict his running up or down stairs. I suppose he was so excited to see your mom and maybe he stepped wrong. I'm sure no help, huh? I just hope all is well with his leg and it won't happen again. Probably wouldn't hurt to give the vet a call and see what he/she thinks. Maddie sends kisses! |
It could be any thing, he could of just landed on it wrong. Id keep a good eye on it and have it checked out if it seems to be bothering him. |
so has anyone experiences a leg cramp with their yorkie? |
Nothing like that ever, Christine, so I'm no help. Sorry about Zoe. Let us know if you find anything out. |
I made a vet appt for tomorrow. The dr. that performed the surgery on him will not be in until thursday but I'm going to the same vet office but going to speak with another vet that should be able to help. Thank you! |
I don't have a yorkie, but do want to wish you and your baby lots of luck! |
