He's not really his happy self and he's playing a bit less tonight. Right now he's chewing on a bone and he seems to be enjoying himself.

![]() Yes, Jackson had Lymes and was limping. He had NO other symptoms. Very strange. But was put on 30 day antibiotic and 7 days of pain pills, and it was cleared up. I would test for it just in case. I ended up spending almost $400 at the vet for x-rays, etc. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sic...e-disease.html

| ![]() I have never heard of Lymes in the gulf states...guess anything is possible. I just think it is highly improbable.

I agree. It's pretty unlikely that it is Lyme. Here's a map showing the number of case by state: U.S. Regional Map of Lyme disease, Canine Ehrlichiosis, Heartworm, Anaplasma | |

| ![]() Max woke up a half hour ago and appears to be walking normally. He also walked normally for about 2 hours yesterday morning and then after playing with Cooper he started limping again. I'm going to keep him as calm as possible today if indeed it is some kind of injury. I just don't understand why he doesn't appear to be in pain or sore. Would a nerve issue come and go like this? Perhaps the anti-inflammatory worked overnight?

No Longer a Member | ![]() Sometimes when a puppy grows too fast or is consuming too much protein it causes what they call growing pains and they will limp. They will outgrow it. If your dog has growing pains, giving aspirin can be a big help. You can also try switching from a puppy food to a food for adults, Adult dog foods have less fat and protein, and appear to sometimes be helpful in reducing growing pains. |

No Longer a Member | ![]() Some foods today cause too rapid a growth pattern which causes medical problems in young developing dogs. One problem is called panosteitis or pano. This is a rapid growth spurt that causes the bones in the legs of the dog to grow too fast. The connecting tissues do not form right and bone splinters can occur. This causes limping in the young dog and sometimes an inability to walk without great pain. Symptoms last as long as the dog is growing or until the food is more balanced. |

| ![]() Boy! I am so sorry you are having troubles with little Max. How old is he? I have no other options to offer you from what everyone esle as said, so I am going to ask about his hips since that has not been mentioned. My Mylee presented with an unexplained limp at 4-5 months old and the only way we got a good diagnosis was x-ray. Sending you big hugs and positive thoughts. Max needs a break. Get better little buddy.

| ![]() I had been thinking about Max all night. I was worrying about him - and you - hoping that's it nothing too big. But, this morning, I was talking to my mom about it and she mentioned growth spurts. My Sheltie - who ended up being a Giant Sheltie weighing in at 38-42lbs instead of the 'normal' 10-15lbs - had some wicked growth spurts and started limping really badly at about 18 weeks and it lasted, on and off, to about 36 weeks. He didn't really act that 'off' but sometimes he'd just lay around and be less active than he 'normally' was... I hope he's feeling better soon! Try some baby asprin! Puppy kisses from Fynn and hugs from me!

| ![]() I've been MIA for nearly a week and just catching up today. I am so sorry to hear Max is not feeling his old self again. There's been a lot of great input on this thread and many of the theories make good sense. I sure hope you can get it worked out soon.

I'm hoping perhaps he played to hard, or landed wrong or something related to minor trauma.
