Hallee limping/hop...back right let????? Last week Hallee was limping, but DH found a piece of food in her paw so we thought that was why she was limping because we did not notice anything after that. However, she has not been jumping on up on the couch. We have been picking her up and putting her up there with us. We did not think much about it because everything else was normal. Last night Hallee was limping really bad, doing almost a hop. It it is her back right leg. She has not wined or anything like she is in pain. I felt so bad for her last night. We carried her into bed last night. This morning the limp/hop is not near as bad as it was last night. But she did not follow me around like she usually does every morning. Thank goodness I already had a vacation day today. I called the vet and they are going to see her this afternoon. Something is def. wrong with her so I am hoping the vet with do xrays or something. I am just worried to death about this. If only she could talk and tell me what is wrong or how she is feeling. |
awww I hope she is ok. good luck at the vets |
Just got back from the vet. Hallee stretched her knee. She let the vet feel around on her leg for about 5 minutes. No welps or anything. Vet prescribed Rimadyl, anti-inflammatory to reduce pain and inflammation. Giving her this for 10 days, every 24 hours. If she still has a limp in 10 days, he wants to see her again. I told the vet we were looking into pet insurance as much as we are there. He said this was one of the weakest parts of these little guys. Hopefully, this heals and nothing more is needed. |
Aww...I hope she gets better soon, whatever it is. I know what you mean about worrying to death about it. They do that to us.. :rolleyes: Give her plenty of hugs and kisses! :hearts-xx:hearts-xx:hearts-xx |
I hope the medicine helps and she's back to following you around soon. |
I am glad its not broken cause $2000 is a bit much for anyone, even if you are well off. |
Now, I am second guessing whether the vet check the correct leg. It had looked to me to be her right back leg last night and today. After hubby got home, it now def. looks like her left leg. I don't think the vet looked at both back legs. I told him it was her right. Now I am concerned the correct leg was not checked. I did not pay attention to the vet checking her legs because I was busy petting and comforting her. This has been stressing me all night. I am calling the vet first thing in the morning and if I have to will take her back in and pay for another office visit. I would rather pay for the office visit again and have peace of mind. But, if the vet checked the wrong leg how could he have told me that she def. favoring it and what is wrong with it. I know if it was broke she probably would not be walking on it at all. I am just overly concerned and have the right to be...she is my baby. I wonder what the vet's office will think when I call asking them if they could tell me what leg he checked or if both. Don't ya think this would be in her records. __________________ ????? |
