MP_the4pack Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 My girl Pearl started limping 2 days ago. It's getting worse. It's her right hip. There is soft tissue swelling there today that wasn't there yesterday. So, my question. For those of you who had greys with osteo of the hip, did you notice swelling? (she's going to the vets tonight) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tenderhearts Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 No experiences to share here, but wanted to let you know Pearl is in my prayers :hope :hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvgreys Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 With my greys, didn't notice any swelling with the first limp. However, x-rays showed changes in the bone and around the bone. Swelling became evident during the first month. Many prayers for Pearl. I SO wish that the osteo club was exclusive with NO NEW MEMBERS!

zimsmom Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 No swelling here. Just the limp & crying from the pain I hope things go well for you. Insist on an xray. My vet wanted to hold off but I insisted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greylover97 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Kira had osteo in her knee. She had swelling a few months into her diagnosis. The vet said that the swelling means the osteo is spreading.

Greytlady94 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 No swelling, just limping. Sending prayers for Pearl.

Guest CyndiW Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Odysseus had osteo in the femoral head in his left hip. There was never any swelling. He had limping and extreme pain. His top hip bone began to deform, disintegrate, and shift greatly before I finally got a referral to an orthopedic surgeon (almost 2 months from the first sign of weakness and a limp). Fortunately, because of the location, they were able to remove his hip and leg on that side. He was so relieved to have the pain gone!
