Dog has almost made a full recovery over the last few day. After discussing with my vet, this can occur if she doesn’t take her medication or vomits it up, as well as if she had eaten food that is high in protein. I think that she must have vomited her pill up, and as such we’ve been increasing her dosage until we’re certain she’s completely well again. On top of that, we’ve changed her diet slightly by removing kangaroo meat from her food and only using white meat. The food we give her is always home-made and has been approved by the vet. Sadly, due to my dog’s conditions and already prescribed medication, if this were to occur again, the best they could prescribe is either antibiotics or, if it gets very bad, we may have to have her put down.
However, like I said earlier, she is back to her normal and happy self, demanding food and is playing madly with our other dog. Thanks for your comment 🙂

I would be willing to guess he pulled or strained something.  How old is he?  I’d have him on reduced exercise for 24-48 hours, and if he doesn’t improve, then I’d get him to the vet.

Put him on crate rest until then. That means no exercise, and all outside trips should be on leash.

Thank you for your help! After looking at it a few more times, his ankle is slightly swollen, and that seems to be the area bothering him, so I’m thinking its a sprained ankle. I appreciate your help!

unfortunately, the photo didn’t work.  i would keep an eye on her, regarding the limp.  if it persists more than a day or two, take her to the vet, and in the mean time, keep her on reduced activity.  no jumping on things, no running.

Please see a vet.

She may have injured a muscle or tendon.  If she continues to favor it while standing still a vet visit is in order.  However, she may have  landed wrong and it could have stung hence the limp, but the initial pain is gone and it is getting better like if you stubbed your toe.

maybe you should get the dog a check up becouse if the ice didnt work it could be something seriouse .

try giving him treat the to the best of my knowledge , this should get him to stop laying around he could problay excersize it out like therepy , he might be just mimicking someone .

I seriously doubt this dog with a swollen joint is mimicking anything.  She could have a broken bone, or torn ligaments.  If rest has not solved the problem it is time to take her to see a vet.  Many vets offer Care Credit that allows you to make payments over time.  Some vets will allow you to work off payments.  Call the vets and rescue organizations in your area and tell them your problems – someone out there will help you and your dog get that medical treatment she deserves.  She is probably in terrible pain – dogs are very good at hiding how much pain they are in!  Do the right thing, get her help.

i guss so i was just thinking positive know one want to think so sickly about this creature . animals to mimic even dogs .

It could be a slight sprain, but it’s more likely he stepped on something.  I would check the paw carefully for injuries or something lodged between his toes.

Other than that I would watch him for a few days and try to keep him resting and if he is still painful on Monday I would take him to your local vet.
