Guest CygnetC Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 So we went back to the vet's last week. His round of Deramaxx didn't work so we were readying to do some x-rays. My vet suggested running a lyme test since she had seen a bunch of cases this year. Well Wally was positive. So my big man has lyme disease which explains his limping in two different legs for the past few months. He has been on Doxy for almost a week, now, and his limping is now non-existant, he just walks weird. I'm just so glad it wasn't a cruciate injury or osteo . . .those were my biggest fears.

SPDoggie Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 So glad it wasn't cancer, but sorry it's Lyme. Hope he heals fully! So glad she quickly figured out what was going on with Wally.
