Limping



This video was taken Wednesday after I got back from class. Everyone said it was her left front but  I felt like it was her right front.

I called the rehab vet on Thursday. She and her partner were booked even next week. The receptionist said Dr. Y had surgeries starting Wednesday at 10am but maybe she would see Miley before she starts. She would call her and ask. The receptionist called me back and said Dr. Y would come in and see Miley tomorrow (Friday) at 12noon. Wow, that was nice of her.  How could I say I couldnt come. So I went.  Long dreary drive. Miley is no longer limping but I had the above video. She watched it several times. Then had Miley slow walk and trot up and down the hall several times. Then she examined her. Miley showed no signs of pain any where. I really thought it was a shoulder problem. But after seeing her extend Mileys legs forward and then back and then out and no signs of pain, I had to agree. She did this both standing and lying down. She did every other body part too. (toes and wrist, elbows). Nothing. Even she said it was weird.  She had  a significant limp just two days ago and now shows no sign of pain. She said I should rest her for 5 days and then increase her activity and see what happens.  I could have asked for xrays but  this vet has been pretty good at finding things. (iliospaoas injury, shoulder injury and the freaking glass in her foot) . She said she thought of Miley the other day. She came home and her dogs had knocked over the Christmas tree and broken glass was all over the floor and dogs were walking through it.

Lame

Lat night I worked Miley in the yard a little. We did a sequence from the clean run workbook. It was just 4 jumps and a tunnel. She ran well. I did hear her nails clicking some bars. That could have been my fault. We didnt do any other agility stuff. Then later I was sitting on the couch and she was lying next to me. I notice her front paw looked redder in between two of her toes and looked a little swollen to me. I had my husband look at it but he didnt think it was anything. Then this morning I got up and she was limping alot. Barely putting any weight on her right front leg. I looked at it and couldnt really find much wrong with it. Its wasnt red but might be a little swollen. She didnt pester me to take her for a walk at all. Highly unusual for her. It did seem to improve as the morning went on. I tried to make a vet appt. but they are full for today. Crap.
