Mimi

Mimi has a limp. Shes had it for a couple of days but its not stopped her doing anything. Its really bad tonight, shes hobbling everywhere but we cant find anything wrong with her, we can squeeze it and move it without it bothering her etc. Its in her front right leg and seems to be coming from her shoulder.

Dunno what shes done to it but shes going tomorrow teatime to the vets :love: :love: :love:

aww bless her.. i wonder if shes just sprained it slightly or if shes lay on it funny...

fingers crossed its nothing serious

fred used to limp when he got up from lying down sometimes... there was nothing wrong with him... the vet said he mut of been lying heavy on it nad it had gone numb lol...

Thats what we thought at first

She had a slight limp around 8 months, just before her first season actually and shes due anytime now but by the time she got an appointment, it went and didnt come back until now.

Its really odd cos it doesnt seem to be bothering her at all, shes playing, shes eating, shes exactly like normal but with a small limp, except tonight it seems loads worse even though shes her normal self still.

Poor girl, will let you know what they say tomorrow :love:

aww bless her... fingers crossed the appointment goes well... :love:

Hope all goes well at the vets Paula :love: :love: :love:

Thank you ladies :love: :love: :love:

let us know how she does it might be growing pains

Will do. Thats what I'm hoping it is Ems. I'm fairly sure she hasnt damaged herself and she did have it before. Wondered if its linked in with hormones and growth, she has just got a bit taller too :love: :love:

awww yea let us know how she gets on hunni hopefully its nothing maybe a little tweek or summet that will sort itself out :love:

Awww cheers Fazza :love: :love:

Misty had this Paula, once at about 9 mths and than again about 18 mths, so did her brother, vet said nothing wrong just the growing stuff E.J posted on.

It went away just as it came. Was always worse when getting up from sleeping.

Awww thank you ladies :love: :love: :love:

Weve just got back and she was such a good girl, stood there really nicely while he moved her leg about for about 10 mins.

He cant find anything wrong and put her on rest and 50mg of carprofen (painkillers) twice a day for a week. Shes got to go back in a week and see how it is and if shes not better, they want to xray etc.

Hopefully she clears up nicely.

I mentioned growing pains and that thing GSD's can get which makes them limp but he says shes too old (which according to online sites, she isnt but you know) so its just wait and see :love: :love: :love:

:love: poor Mimi, am glad the vet thinks she's ok P

Tilly has a very bad back leg, but it's only bad after excersice, she doesnt put it down until the next day, but she got run over when she was about a year old and broke it. apart from that she's fine, it doesnt affect her at all when she's out.

as Mimi has never broken her leg i'm sure it's prob something and nothing.

No shes hasnt injured it or anything so I'm putting it down to growth. She has gained a couple of inches recently.

Poor Tilly, sending big hugs :love: :love:

Like I said on FB our last GSD, Jazz, had something very similar as a youngster and our vet said it was growing pains. Restricted exercise and he was fine in the end

Hope it goes soon Paula, and no more vet visits for you hun.

Aww poor Tilly xx

prob just Pano then hun nought to worry bout just rest her and see pup went through this and hes the only one out of mine who did he had the odd limp for a few days i gave him metacam and he cleared up after a wk lol

Well, shes had a check up today, still a very slight limp now and again so shes got more pills, only half the doe though for another week and if shes still limping, shes got to go back but they think she will be ok :san12: :san12: :san12:
