Guest ss556 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I got home from work and Alan was limping, seemed to be the front left paw. I checked it, it seems fine, I can touch it. I got him to walk outside, he walked a few steps, limped, dragged the left paw. Then I noticed the right shoulder was quivering. He has a difficult time getting down on his bed, more so than before. It's been lately that he has a hard time getting down b/c of his back legs. How do I know if this is from him running after squirrels this morning or something more serious?

Remolacha Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I usually give that sort of thing 24 hrs to improve, then off to the vet. So far, they've all been soft tissue injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickiesmom Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Poor Alan. Take him to the vet - not knowing what is going on will make you crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DorianGreyhound Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Agreed... btw, your siggie melts my heart... he has one of the most beautiful expressions I have ever seen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmom Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Did he do more running than usual this morning? Probably not an emergency unless he seems to be getting worse or is acting oddly ... your judgement ... but if not better in the a.m. I would see the vet.

Guest ss556 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 He did run some this a.m., but my DH had him in the park. Can't get a great answer from him! I think he might be in some pain and he is very thirsty too - not related I guess. He seems to walk it off a bit but only takes a few steps and then walks slightly wobbly. He just used his front paws to dig in a hole in my backyard. Don't know what to make of it - he's not "right". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Snowy8 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 BuyCut had a slight limp yesterday & today he's fine...he's 10 & very active...so I figured he turned wrong. I think since his shoulder is quivering, I'd go ahead & take him in just for an exam. It might just be a "charlie horse". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinM Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Time to go back to the vet if not better by Thursday. It's probably a soft tissue injury. Mine limp at least once a week to freak me out! Polli's limping too!
