Today She Was Running Through Bush Chasing Squirrels

today she was running through bush chasing squirrels
when we called her she came running towards us “lop-sided”; looked as if hind left leg wasn’t working
it was not any kind of limp I’ve seen before; the leg didn’t look being favored but looked not working, not providing the right support properly
Cookie sat down while we were going to try to see what’s going on
meanwhile she heard another squirrel and dashed off back into the bush again
looked like the leg wasn’t quite right but she didn’t seem to care
we then fetched and leashed her and after short time everything seemed fine until the time of this writing 4:19PM
often problems resurface after some rest so I’m concerned what she’s going to look like after longer rest; so far she seems perfectly normal again, though

Seeing a vet tomorrow but hoping for some comforting thoughts on what the heck it could have been … ?

    She seems perfectly normal and herself now. Moving and acting normally, looking normal and happy. Lasted just a few minutes. Didn’t seem upset about it this time, just came up close and sat down. I was way more upset about it that she was.

    Hello Erica,

    It isn’t good to have cold like symptoms for so long – it is unlikely to go away on its own.  I strongly recommend seeing a vet as soon as possible just to be sure to help him get better and not severely worse all of a sudden.

Hello, I Have A Year Old Large Puppy And He Has Developed A Limp From…

Hello, I have a year old large puppy and he has developed a limp from one of his back legs. I have read everything online about different causes and I have done a thorough examination of his leg. There seems to be nothing out of place, no swelling and he continues to run and play (he sure doesn’t seem depressed) and he doesn’t show any signs of pain at all….what could be the problem? The only thing I can even relate to what’s happening is that it might be pano, but I want to confirm before we change his diet. There is also no sort of thorns, cracks, or cuts except a small cut in between the left side of his toes and it’s not worth taking him to the vet for a small cut about 3 cm.

    Hi Brittany,

    Pets, just like people, have different tolerance levels for pain.  The fact that he is limping indicates something is definitely not right.  How long has the limping been going on?  It is sometimes difficult to know if something is a small or a large problem without going to the vet.  Finding an answer is definitely worth it :).   I hope he gets better as I can tell you care about him very much!

    He’s only been limping for about 3 days, it seems like the limping has gotten a little better since the first day. He has broken his front toe before and was showing a lot of symptoms of pain (of course we took care of it) but that’s what I’ve been basing his pain tolerance on remembering how bad he was hurting before and he’s pretty much normal except for the limp.

    UPDATE: took him to the vet today, for the past couple days before our appointment we’ve had him on bed rest and that helped alot. The limping got less severe and it seemed like he could put more weight down on that leg. The vet had said it could be a partailly torn ligament in his knee from the exam. X-rays at the beginning of next month and he’s currently on some doggy pain killers and inflammation drugs and two weeks bed rest! But he’s walking on it even better with the drugs even after one dose.

    Hello Chelsea.  How was it determined that your dog is allergic to the cat?  I have not heard of this before.

    Diedra

    We went to the vets and they said because of her having rashes and itching all off the time. Also because it is only where the cat has been near her, so she is allergic to my cat and I really dont want to get rid of my cats hes lovely and ive had him since a kitten

  3. Lisa Pfab

    I would wonder if the dog is eating cat food that he may be allergic to.

    I would think that she is allergic to food or something else.  I would make sure the dog cannot get to the cats food, or the litterbox

    It sounds like u should take him to the vet for a professional opinion.  This may happen whenever he gets excited but your vet can give you a better answer after examining your dog.

    It sounds like fleas or allergies.  Allergies manifest in rears, paws, and ears usually. try flea preventative first.

    That was so nice of you to take the poor little kitten in, the kitten should stay with the mother at lease till the babies are 8 weeks old. You should only put the drops in every 6 hours. Good luck and enjoy your new baby.
