Chachi is limping - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Just My luck My Husband is out of town and now Chachi is limping. He wont put any weight on one of his front feet. I felt around on the leg and it doesnt seem to be broken. I put pressure on it and he didnt cry or anything. I cheched the pads of his feet and nothing there. If he keeps up I am going to take him to the vet

Prayers headin your way. I think everything will be ok...Let me know what the vet says. Are you going today?

Patti · 05-09-2009, 11:09 AM

Hope Chachi just sprained it a little and will be fine.

No he doesnt seem to be in pain so I will wait and watch him and take him in Monday if neede. I just noticed it so I am just watching him now

Poor Chac! I hope he just landed wrong or maybe he stepped on something.
I hope he gets better soon.

ARCHIE · 05-09-2009, 11:45 AM

Always expect the unexpected with these guys. Maybe he landed the
wrong way jumping down from a piece of furniture and hurt his foot.
Hopefully it will be ok later on. Keeping my finger's crossed for
Chachi to be fine.

My little Coco did that a couple of weeks ago. I just watched him and tried to keep him from jumping and he was fine after a little while. I sure hope little Chachi just twisted it wrong and he will be fine. Sending good vibes your way. Please keep us updated as to his condition. Isn't that always the way. These things happen when dh is away.

How is Chachi today......Just checking in.....

ElaineE · 05-11-2009, 06:38 AM

You could give him half a baby asprin, and see if that helps at all. I'd try that first.

chachi · 05-11-2009, 06:46 AM

He seems to be better today. I was concerned because yesterday he still was not walking on that foot but today he is more than not. My Husband got home last night and checked him over and he didnt believe it was broken. We are still keeping an eye on him

manolos mom · 05-11-2009, 08:15 AM

Check his nails, Manolo split his nail and was limping for a few days....

mizzwanned · 05-12-2009, 11:33 AM

Teddy was limping the other day too after a long run and i don't know what it was. The vet said he has LP but like grade 1 or 2, don't know if it was cause of that but it was his front left foot. He was also biting at his paw

Wylie's Mom · 05-12-2009, 11:45 AM

Oh no

! I wonder if it's a little sprain or something. You probably checked all of claws, and at the base of the claw? (Wylie once had a tear right at the base)

Hope he feels better very soon!

LilMissy · 05-12-2009, 12:06 PM

Oh good, I'm glad that he's starting to use it again. At least it's not broken. I hope it was just a slight sprain or something that's easily fixed with a little rest.

Nancy1999 · 05-12-2009, 12:06 PM

Oh I hope he's doing better soon too. Have you had him checked for LP recently, in the early stages limping can sometimes come and go.
