| Looking for Ideas other than worst case senario? Ok so here is the rundown. I apologize if I am not allowed to do this but I cannot find any forums on Bichons like this one. So this question is about my Bichon not Yorkie. She is 2 years old, mannerisms like yorkie, but twice as much energy. So...yesterday we were doing yard work in the backyard and I noticed that when she would run to me at a low to medium speed, that occasionally she would run on three legs. She would occasionally lift her front right leg, sometimes for a few steps. Once I saw it I tested again to make sure it wasn't a fluke. She shows no signs of pain, she walk on it, sits on it, jumps on it, all without showing pain. I checked her paw to see if there was something stuck in it but I could not find anything. Bichons are prone to LP also, and I think she may encounter that as I can already hear a slight clicking in her leg but this is her front leg. I know I should take her to the vet, and I probably will if it continues, I am just looking for ideas because it is all I can think about. She LOVES to run, and I mean all out sprint, but I don't want to test her sprint for fear that she will injure herself more. Any ideas? Thanks!! |

| Honestly, I didn't know they could get LP in their front legs. I'm interested in finding out more about that. Did you check the entire arm? Maybe she has a bug bite that was bothering her? Sorry if I'm not much help, I'm trying to throw ideas out there.

| I totally appreciate your ideas, that's what I am looking for! A bug bite is possible, she has been licking her leg a bit, and it is the same leg that she lifts...so to speak I hadn't heard that they could get LP in their front legs either. When she is trotting (aka...leaping lol) she will lift her whole leg up missing a couple of beats, but again, only when running, and not the entire time, just intermittently. |
