A few weeks ago, Goob had a limp in his front right leg. We had him on bed rest for a few days and it went away.
Today, he has a limp in his right hind leg. This one seems more severe than the one a few weeks ago. We are going to put him on bed rest again but I can't imagine what it could be.
He is 3.5 years old. Not over weight. Very active. On Merrick Grain Free food. Manipulated every part of his hind leg from his hip to his toes with no sounds, no signs of pain, nothing! Is it possible that he can already have the onsets of arthritis? I just ordered Nuvet joint and Nuvet Plus to see how he does on them.
For those of you who have dealt with this.. what were the signs of your baby's torn ACL, hip dysplasia, broken leg, ect. I dont want to admit that I'm beginning to be VERY worried but....I AM.
Goob doesn't like strangers so a trip to the vet means a muzzle and head ache. I don't mind dropping money for whatever he needs but I don't want to take him in, complain of a limp, and they say bed rest for a few days 200 dollars later.
Maybe you can answer it this way if my rambling doesn't make sense..."My dog's symptoms were__________. We found out that it was________. The vet said he needed____________."
