Harlea Limping Heading to Vet

[dolphin]

Glad Harlea is ok. I noticed this also in Fergus and mentioned it to our vet he who told me it was growing pains I was told I would see it off and on but if it he continued to limp in the next few days and feels pain they would take xrays.

They sure keep us on our toes!!

Glad to hear its nothing serious. Chum had a bad limp last summer that lasted a few weeks and eventually went away. I give him a few phycox chondroitin chews every night with dinner that a lot of people swore by for hip and joint problems and havent had any issues since last summer..Glad to hear there wasnt anything wrong! Shell be up and around in no time!

I know what you mean and would've done the exact same. I did actually. Wish I had come on here earlier. Is the pain med rimadyl?

No worries my friend. Its all good. I believe it is rimadyl. 1/4 pill as needed. I am waiting to get my allergy shots and don't have meds in front of at the moment.

Those damn growing pains! Loki had them when he was younger too. Glad that she is ok!!!

Hi, so glad to be reading that Harlea is okay, and it wasn't anything serious. It's always better to be safe than sorry though. I hope she feels better soon, and gets back to her old self. Love and hugs for Harlea

[MENTION=9236]Lisabear123[/MENTION] Will do.
@pdolphin27 Harlea's pain med is 1/2 of a Tarmadol tablet as needed. Rimadyl is the other one she got and that is 1/4 tablet twice a day.

Whew - glad to hear - when Truman was diagnosed with severe hip dysplasia, we were PRAYING it was panoestetis...which is painful, but thankfully resolves on its own!

thank you. If she doesn't look like she's limping tomorrow you don't have to give it to her. Only if you think she may be in pain. It can really knock these babies out.

Neither did I that is why we took her in. We thought she had hurt something while in her crate.

She is sleeping right now but when she is up she is still limping pretty badly which the vet said could take a few days to a week or so to go away.

She is doing pretty good. The vet told us that this is one of those things that is self limiting for the most part and it definately shows as she hasn't wrestled with her kitty brudder at all today for a change. They did tell us to let her do as much as she wants but to keep her as calm as possible until the limping goes away which can take a few days to a week or so to go away. Basicaly the nerve endings in the long bone of her leg are inflamed from growing so quickly. So she is in a bit of pain right now but we have meds for her if she really needs it. The only thing that bothers me that the vet said is that while this will go away it will usually but not always bounce from leg to leg before it fully clears up. I hate seeing my baby in pain and wish I could take the hurt away.
