| Re: Puppy needs to be kept quiet any ideas? Me and a few other board members had some issues with limping. Some suggestions I got after getting xrays done etc. were to ease off the exercise for a while and definitely ease the play with other dogs. They say when dogs play with one another, they often come down very hard on their front legs. My guy used to rough house a lot and usually with larger dogs. We have stopped all of that. It could also be growing pains too, in a young pup. Just take it easy and if you can, check out a specialist for peace of mind. I literally stopped walking my pup for over a month and our walks now are pretty short. He is doing much better for now. I do keep him on leash for potty outside. I know it hurts to not let them play the way they want to, but for me it definitely helped. Small price to pay for the long run! Good luck and look into a specialist for xrays versus your regular vet. Specialists often have better equipment. Keep us all posted. |
