thats just the thing i think it is a pulled muscle too..i just wanted some back-up with the answer just to be sure..i wasnt trying to be an A**Originally Posted By: mamagooseI would guess pulled muscle first too.
What makes you so sure it's dysplasia?![]()
we just cut his nails the other day so i wouldnt think it was because of that..it could be a possibility that he had his paw bitten too hard..Originally Posted By: JenniferkyDid he get a paw bit too hard? How's his nails looking? I'm asking about his nails, because if Elle's nails get too long, she will limp some. Best wishes!!
do u realize how hard it is to get a 5 1/2 month old puppy to relax and rest??!!??!!Originally Posted By: JenM66 The best thing for either a pulled muscle or pano is rest, rest, rest - no jumping, climbing stairs, crate rest as much as possible.
YUP -- I went through 4 or 5 bouts of pano....I know exactly how hard it is....but it's what's best for the dog.Originally Posted By: lcht2do u realize how hard it is to get a 5 1/2 month old puppy to relax and rest??!!??!!Originally Posted By: JenM66 The best thing for either a pulled muscle or pano is rest, rest, rest - no jumping, climbing stairs, crate rest as much as possible.darn near impossible
i feel bad leaveing him in the crate but i know its for his own good..today was the first day that we havent gone on our daily walk since he was old enough to go with us, its kinda sad to see him limping but he hasent shown any signs of pain.![]()
