| Limp hind leg My baby is favoring his right hind leg. When I retured from work yesterday he was not very energetic and would not run around etc as usual (he is a bundle of unused energry daily). He is not putting much pressure on his leg and to top it off...he was shivering really bad. I have noticed that when he tries to curl up in a ball to sleep, he will lick the area of the patella. Could it be laxating patella? Should I RUSH to vet or monitor for a day or two? We have been treating his poor dude now for fungal disease since May....I just want him to be well and healthy. Really need advice. Thanks

| Take him to the vet. The same thing happened to our Basenji Mix yesterday and he has a broken right hind femur from jumping off the couch. Better safe than sorry! Koi also started shaking when we got him to the vet from the pain. We took him right away too.
