Max and LP So when I took max from the rescue group the paperwork noted 4/4 LP I think it means a 4 in both legs... So, Friday I come home from work and Max is limping, holding back left leg up or barley putting weight on it. Off to the vet, she does a large amount of manipulation and the little guys does not even flinch. She put him on an anti inflamitory and cosequin(not right name but right idea). My question How can you crate rest a dog who has NEVER been in a crate. I carry him outside to do business. I keep him by me on the couch and when I get down, I put him in bed on floor, but when he wants a drink or if I am in potty, he comes looking. Does the inflamation go away if I keep him quiet? He shows no sign of pain I repeat NO SIgn of pain. |
My Mikki has LP in both legs. I don't keep her in a crate. I do carry her a lot and limit any jumping. I also have stairs for her to use to climb up on things. She also shows no sign of pain. Did the vet tell you to put him on crate rest? Sounds like you are doing the things that need to be done in my opinion. |
The vet only suggested limited movement at this time, but if it got worse that they sometimes suggest crate rest. Poor guy hates being in a bed on the floor, but I can't trust him not to jump...I think he would quit loving me if I used a crate:) |

Thats an idea |
I think it would be better than a crate. And they have all kinds. :) |
