Guest ss556 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 For the past week, every few days, Alan drags his right front paw. When he walks, it seems as though this whole leg is slightly crooked, going towards his chest direction, if you can picture that. His back legs have shown some weakness on occasion as well, but that's been for a while. What's with the front paw? He can run after squirrels, but when he walks, he sometimes drags it.

Guest SusanP Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 My first instinct would be something neurological. I"d get him to a vet a.s.a.p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverfish Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Sounds like a shoulder problem to me, off the top of my head. I'd get him looked over. Quote The plural of anecdote is not dataBrambleberry Greyhounds My Etsy Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ss556 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Well he hasn't done the thing with his front paw in a couple of days. He runs after squirrels with no problems. I will certainly watch him and see. If it happens again, off to the vet we will go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
