help please very worried hi ladies please can you give advice for the last 2 days Dexy has been lifting one back leg and hopping about , this is not all the time but on occasion , this morning he yelped and his leg was raised again, as some of you know he has been operated on in the summer due to cryptorchid is this another bad breeding problem showing up i am so upset i love him so much, what can a vet do to help? |
I'm not an expert, but it does sound like it could be luxating patella. Pups will look like they are "skipping" almost. If the knee caps slips too much, the leg will lock and it does cause pain. I hope it is nothing major, but I would ask to check this out. |
The vet can't do anything unless you take him, and the sooner the better. Has he jumped off anything recently? Have you tried feeling down his leg to determine if the pain is in his leg or toes? Check his toenails? |
i have moved his leg and he and shows no pain no yelping and he is happy to move it i am booking him in at the vet i will do whatever it takes to help my baby i can promise you that |
please tell me what the vet said as soon as u find out what it is...and good luck :thumbup: |
Sure sounds like luxating patella. I've had two dogs with this. One had it in one knee only and would pick it up and go on three legs till the knee cap went back into place, and then my Zada had both knees operated on at once. If it isn't corrected and it gets to a 4, then they can't do anything to help the knee. |

I agree, my yorkie had to have both knees done it can lock in and out so one min can be painful and the next they can move as if nothing is wrong but needs to be looked at. This is why good breeding practices are so very important. |
Maye her hurt his paw somewhere?? or a little toe? |
Praying that it is nothing major..........please keep us updated! Jess |
Could be something with his ACL too.... Have you gotten him into the vet yet? What did they say? |
Poor baby. I think he definitely needs to see a vet. Hope it all turns out ok. |
How is Dexy we have had no update? |
