Bort ran into Vikka REALLY hard the other night (I missed it), George said Bort bowled her over. No pain, no limping at the time. No limping at all that night. Yesterday morning she wakes up and is severely limping on her left rear leg. Doesn't seem to have a lot of pain, I can move the leg around just about anyway that I want without eliciting pain. Needless to say, this is scaring the hell out of me.
Decided to wait out yesterday to see if time and some anti-inflammatories (Yucca, white willow bark for pain, MSM, Vit C, and a supplement called bone & tissue with lots of stuff in it) would help. SHe's restricted to no stairs, no being out with the other dogs, etc. She did decide that yesterday was a good day to jump up on the agility table (Grrr!!!!!!!!!)....at which point she went on strict leash walking, and she's more than willing to pull hard on the leash when on a good scent, or jump up on me in the a.m. (standing on hind legs). She does keep the weight off that leg when peeing.
I've checked the paw, the joints (no heat)...............this is scaring me biggggg time. Vet is closed today (it's the 4th of July), so hubby is taking her in tomorrow (I have to work).
In any event, I found this website, it's VERY informative for those who want more than just "this is the CCL, these are your options."
