Dixie has been holding her back right leg up and walking very gingerly on it when it's down since last Thursday. She'd done one crazy run around the house after a face walk & came back to me with her leg up. Naturally it was a long weekend. We got into the vet this morning and he says it's LP. He doesn't believe in grades he just goes by how the dog is doing. Also no surgery unless absolutely necessary. I agree and so does Dixie! She's on Metacam for pain for a few days. I won't use it all so I'm to keep the rest for next time. She is on a glucosamine treat 2 x daily for life. He's seen lots of dog's joints get stronger from being on it he said. I stopped giving it to her a while back for some reason I can't remember. I wish I hadn't stopped it.
I suppose LP is the lesser of the evils that were going through my mind of what the problem was but I wish she didn't have it.
