leg

I spent the weekend freaking out over (my dog) Kevin's leg. As he gets into his golden years i know at some point his body will give out before his spirit. Last week he started limping more than normal... and by the weekend he would hardly walk. I spent all last night awake worried what...

Due to spinal bone spurs and arthritis, Porkchop's back legs don't work well anymore. His feet are so displaced the pads are now pushed forward, one leg twists when he walks. He's 11 years old next month and still has some vigor. We go for walks with him in his buggy, but I think he would also...

Buster had ACL surgery yesterday. He had a partial tear that we had been keeping an eye on. He would limp a bit when he got out of bed then kind of walk it off. The past few days he was really hobbling but not carrying his leg. We took him to the vet yesterday and the partial had turned into...

Hi! I'm about to view and hopefully put a deposit down on a then 6 week old puppy (she is just over 5 weeks now) The breeder has sent me many photos and a few videos however in a lot of the photos she's sitting like a lizard. Her leg sometimes sticks out too when she's sitting in the position...

My 3yo EBD, Squash, woke up 5 days ago and couldn’t get out of bed. We later realized it was because he couldn’t put pressure on his back left leg though he hasn’t shown any signs of pain. We immediately ran him to the vet. They took X-rays, blood tests, tick and heart disease tests. All came...

I had previously mentioned in another thread after winning the Turkey Leg contest that Buster was limping on that leg. We went to the vet yesterday and he has a partial ACL tear. We are not doing surgery at this point. We are trying to keep him as quiet as possible and he is to continue on...

Hi all, I'm new to this forum, my 10 months old has 2 dry circle patches on her leg. Anyone has experience with caring for this? TIA

One week ago today, Louie and Jax got into a full blown dog fight. I believe Jax is the one that started it. They were all in the kitchen while I was preparing dinner as they usually are and then they went at it. I broke them up and then went back to preparing dinner, and then round 2. It was...

Here’s MINI’s new feeding station. It elevates her enough so that she can eat without regurgitation and as soon as she’s done she goes right in Sandy’s lap for 20 minutes. We call it “up time.” It has been working very well for several months. The reason for the change is that the...

Many of you know about Walter's issue w/his anal glands... and he would daily go thru this barking at his butt thing, which we always attributed to his anals being full. This week he had a vet visit because he has a superficial tear in his eye, and I mentioned to her that he was limping on his...

Hi all. I recently reserved an English bulldog puppy. He was born 4 days premature by C-Section and has 7 other littermates.

I turned all of the furniture around after Chunky hurt his leg and he's feeling good enough now that its making him mad. LOL

Well Mr Chunky got a little excited late saturday night and hurt his back leg. I took him to the vet today and they did an X-ray which didn't show any broken bones but did show some arthitis in the leg. He would not allow them to check his leg for range of motion and they did not want to sedate...

So thebfirst EBD I owned had all sorts of food allergies and had a constant troubles sticking to one brand that would work long enough. Just when you thought hurray! it would quickly damn! I decided I would try the Raw diet craze, yesterday I picked up my 10 Week old male from the Breeder. I was...

We have noticed over the last few weeks Dudley’s back legs, mainly his left one are slipping backwards slightly when he walks on our wooden floors. To be honest it could of been going on longer but we didn’t notice it but now we are purposely looking out for it. Obviously our floors are slippy...

I’m a first time puppy owner and I bought Loki when he is 8 weeks old. From past week he started folding his right leg while walking in a different manner like the below picture. The vet said that he has no pain and asked us to keep an eye on him. Now he started doing the same with the left leg...

Hi All - I know I haven't posted here in a long, long time. I decided to go ahead and post today to let y'all know that my best buddy Gizmo (bichon frise) passed away on the very last day of January. He was 13 years old. Everything was fine, he was his normal spunky self, nothing to indicate...

I looked for a similar thread and couldn't find one on ACL tears.Just curious if anyone has dealt with a ACL tear in their bulldog.It happened almost three weeks ago, and he still favors his back right leg.Our vet has done over a dozen ACL surgeries ,but I wanted to ask other owner's...

My baby girl has been having a hard time the past couple weeks. I noticed her giving to her right leg a bit and took her in to get checked.. Luxating patella, grade 2 was the diagnosis...we did a full set of xrays just to be sure ( I was worried about her hips or a torn ligament) . Vet said the...

Hello! I am looking at a sweet puppy from a wonderful home breeder. The puppy I picked was sat on by her mamma & now is having hind leg problems. She can stand (front legs seem very strong) & walks but is wobbly. She’s been seen by vet who is recommending therapeutic massage several times day...

My 14 week old girl has a lazy back leg, I have read somewhere that you can give something to help I believe it's something to do with calcium or some sort of deficiency in vitamins but can't remember what can help. Has anyone heard of anything that could help? Thanks

Hello! My name is Creed. I like to think that I was named after the boxer in the "Rocky" movies, but it could be that 90's band too! I am a 2.5 year old male and I am loving life! My owner surrendered me to CEBR because I had a torn ACL in my hind leg and they could not afford my medical care. I...

Dear all, Ulysses and I are back and we are extremely happy to reconnect with our bully forum family again. So sorry to have been disconnected for a while but as you all know, sometimes life gets in the way and one looses touch for a bit. Sadly, we received not such good news from the vet this...

Hi everyone! We just purchased our very first bully, she is 11 weeks old, adorable and hysterical. Can be a bit of a devil at times though too. Lots of biting, chasing feet, etc. She got me really good today, blood and everything. I thought she was climbing up in my lap for a cuddle but she took...

Yesterday we found a pea size lump on Ronnie it’s hard and doesn’t move around freely with his skin. It’s right on the side of his front leg. I have parted all the hair to have a look and there appears to be no broken skin or anything that would indicate that it’s a bite. The lump is visible...

Two days ago our 10 yr old eb Jake hurt his back leg. We waited a day to take him to the vet to see if it would get better on its own. Yesterday he seemed worse so I made him a vet apt. Yesterday evening I started to notice other symptoms that he wasn’t feeling well. Today he was much worse but...

Hi there! I'm Eddie and I am 6 months old. I was dumped in a park by my owner right before Christmas. Luckily, Animal Control found me and got me into rescue! After seeing the vet, he diagnosed me with spina bifida. This means I am incontinent and need to wear diapers. My back legs don't work...

Most of you already know about Wally's pulled hammy... NOW Willow is having issues. I was on the phone w/my mom, and I noticed that Willow was pushing ALL of the dining room chairs across the room. Her face was swollen... call the vet and luckily I had the meds on hand. Her face swelled up...

I've decided that I'm going to try to document Ollie's experience with TPLO (tibial-plateau leveling osteotomy) surgery. I'm pretty much having to learn everything on my own. Maybe some time down the road someone might find this useful. If it needs to be moved, feel free Moderator/s. In the...

This weekend was my daughter's HS graduation... so we had family in for the last several days. Last night I noticed that Wally was not putting weight on his back leg, and ALL night long he kept growling and pacing. I luckily had some Metacam, so I gave him some of that and he slept for an...

Porkchop's paws look like they are miniature overgrown toenails. His back issues are such that he can't go for walks anymore so there is no rough surface to 'exfoliate' the paw pads. His left leg sort of twists when he walks also, which the vet attributes to neuro damage due to the bone spurs...
