Guest k9soul Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) He did run around today in some snow, so it's possible he pulled something, but I'm still frightened. I will run him in first thing tomorrow unless it seems to resolve overnight.. Edited December 28, 2013 by k9soul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o_rooly Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) Best thoughts!! There are a million NON-cancerous reasons for lameness. One of Aston's front feet presented with a ton of swelling overnight once and he couldn't bear any weight on it, and it was tendinitis. Resolved in a few days.Rudy reminds me so much of my guy!

o_rooly Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) I understand completely -- I've had to take Aston to the vet eight times since September 23rd, with lots of stop-ins to the vet on my own in-between, so now I want to throw up every time he even looks at me crosseyed -- but try, try not to cross any bridges before they exist. Rudy looks quite alert and chipper and, there are MANY things that can get stepped on in snow, causing minor ouchies. Edited November 12, 2013 by o_rooly Quote every day a tiny adventure.

Guest k9soul Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Thanks. I checked his foot pads which seem fine. I mean logically we had our first snow and he tore around in it some and likely he could have wrenched or strained something but I am just so paranoid and worried.

Fiona3 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 A month or two ago Callie suddenly couldn't put her foot down (much like Rudy in the video). When our vet checked her, she found a sensitivity in the muscles near her shoulder. Callie had been running and playing with our lab and simply pulled a muscle during all the activity. Some anti-inflammatory medication and restricting her activity did the trick in a couple of days. I'm like you. When I see a limp I worry. Taking Rudy in for a checkup will give you peace of mind.

XTRAWLD Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Have you noticed any heat in his joints when running your hands down his legs? Sometimes they just get overzealous with their running.

Guest k9soul Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Thanks everyone. I just got back from the vet with Rudy. He seemed a little more willing to put weight on the leg today but was still limping. The vet did a careful exam of his entire leg and shoulder, and did something where he pulled the shoulder out towards him a few seconds and then let go to see how he walked, and Rudy did not show any increase in lameness or signs of specific pain anywhere. So the vet believes he strained/sprained muscle, and this really fits as he was crazily running around in wet snow just a few hours before I saw him limping. He's on some Rimadyl and I will of course be watching him closely and if he fails to improve or shows any sign of worsening he will go back in for imaging.

Guest k9soul Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Thanks guys. It's such a logical answer, and yet I just was so extremely anxious. I would fall asleep but then jerk awake thinking how something was wrong. I'm hopeless when it comes to anything wrong with my dogs. It really shakes me up. Feeling quite worn out today!

Guest Greyt_dog_lover Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Did you go to the RAVE on Saturday? If so, did Rudy run in the Radar Run? I know I had a few hounds that appeared to pull a muscle (3 hounds yelped during their runs), just wondering if Rudy was one of them.

But Rudy did race around in new wet snow on Monday afternoon and I'm pretty sure he injured himself then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
