seeh2o Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Maybe he has a sliver in the underpart of the paw where the fur is. Carl has tried to kill me with worry twice with limping (front paws), I found a teeny tiny sliver of something in his paw. I put a warm damp compress on it to soften it up, it finally worked it's way out. Sending good thoughts that it's a big old NOTHING.

4My2Greys Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Wet the bottom of the pads and check again for corns. Limping on pavement but, not on grass or carpets sure sounds like a corn. This was my immediate thought. This coming from someone who spent over 2 years and several thousand $$$ trying to find out why Nadir was limping. That is exactly what he would do, fine in grassy areas, but limp badly on hard surfaces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4My2Greys Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Tom, I'm thinking of you and Hero today and hoping that what you fear is not the reason for his limp. Having lost 2 to this terrible disease I can certainly understand why your mind would immediately go to it, but there are also other non-fatal reasons for limping and with that in mind I send out positive thoughts that it is one of those things.

Guest EmbersDad Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 well, they did not do xrays. the vet checked him out, listened to his lungs, felt all his joints, and really found nothing. he did not limp when they walked him on pavement. we are going to film him when he limps and take that back to the vet.

Guest june Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I hate when my dogs do the "nothing is wrong with me" when we go to the vet's! Good idea to video tape. I'll have to remember to do that for my dogs next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest peacehound Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 had the same problem when trying to get Peace's limp diagnosed, I took short videos of her for three days each time she got up or walked in the yard..the vets at OSU said the videos were the biggest help in finding out what the problem was. She of course was so pumped with adrenaline or something while at OSU that she appeared normal as can be. She has been on Adequan shots now for six months and they have changed her quality of life so much..she plays, is able to walk without pain and seems very content..it was wonderful to finally get a reason for the limping(joint problems probably from old injury) she is now off Deramaxx and doing well. Best of luck with your boy, I so understand the fear of a limp. It took us over two years to finally get an answer, hope it goes easier for you.
