Arthritis???

[staziarain]

We just adopted a 5 yr old rottie fem 2 days ago. shes absolutely wonderful
in every way!!!
her previous owners told me her feet were sensitive to touch, she just didnt like them touched at all. but after she took a nap with my kids we noticed when she got up she acted like her feet were asleep.
i called and asked them if that was normal and they said ya.....
kinda dosent make sense...they brought her in every 5 months for every test in the world at banfeild (their vet)and yet her feet were never discussed.

could this be arthritis already? After she walks around a while it goes away...
anyone ever heard of this happeneing??

i appreciate any help i can get on this

i forgot to add she does this every time she wakes up, not just 1 time......

Have you taken her to the vet yet? If not I would suggest to do so.

yep she went the day we got her, although we didnt notice her feet and
the vet said she was in top shape..so ive made another apt for tomorrow just to be on the safe side, i m not sure what it is, just maybe her feet are just too sensitive right when she wakes up....i havent a clue this is a new one for me...thanks for your reply
