I'm so sorry to hear that she is injured. I hope it isn't serious. |
i'm not sure=( we've ruled out lyme disease, the test showed negative (tiggy had 3 ticks on her one month ago) but honestly ever since she was a baby, she would always walk kinda funny because she does not put weight on her right hind leg.....now she's limping.... i am so distraught.........any advice i would be so grateful :cry8: |

Is the Vet sure it isn't the knee either a slipping patella or cruciate ligament? http://www.westlakeanimalhospital.co...ture__can.html Either the knee problems or Legge-Perthes can manifest itself even once the dog is no longer a puppy. LP usually will cause a problem at about 5 -7 months but it can become a problem over a year of age. Any of these are correctible with surgery. LP is genetic. |
My sister's shepherd was hit by a car in her hip. The vet hosp charged $950 for 5 days and surgery to do a replacement with a titanium ball and rebuilt her socket. That was 3 yrs ago. |
thanks everyone for the advice |
