• HELP!!

  Posted on 2008/06/08 by User

  My 12 year old pitbull/lab mix was recently put on Rimadyl and now he is having trouble walking, getting up off the floor and moving in general. Could this be a reaction to the Rimadyl? A friend of mine said it sounded like a blood clot. Our vet has run a CBC and says everything is WNL. What should we do now?

• Swollen leg

  Posted on 2008/06/20 by User

  Hi, I recently took my labador out to the beach and as he jumped into the water he landed funny and came out limping. On inspection I discovered that his back leg knee joint was badly swollen but he was still putting a bit of weight on it so I presumed it was just sprained and we've been resting him since. Its been nearly a week now since the incident and the swelling hasn't gone down at all so I'm starting to get a bit worried about it. He is putting weight on it when he walks, but when he's standing still he lifts it off the ground. Do I just need to rest him more or could it be something more serious? He doesn't appear to be in much pain but he has been very...

• Strained leg

  Posted on 2007/12/15 by User

  Cooper strained his leg in the summer, had him to the vet, and had him rest and be quite for a while and he was doing good. The Xray showed nothing other than that. Was doing good but still limping some, but the other day he chased a cat in the yard thru the snow and now he is limping again. Gavea 1/4 of a Tyenol Artristis pill and it seemed to helped. Was wondering if this would hurt him, or is there something else I could give him. Thanks Gloria Flynn

• possible patella luxation

  Posted on 2008/09/17 by User

  Peanut within the last couple of weeks has been holding up his right hind leg occasionally. This would happen and then a few minutes later her was ready to run, jump and play as if nothing was wrong. I was worried about patella luxation so took him to vet @ banfield and she did a physical exam and said his knee seemed fine, maybe it was just a strain. After about a week this is still happening about 2-3 times a day. The other day he did this when he hiked his leg to urinate. Is this something I should be concerned about or give him time and see if he heals? He is only 10 mths old and don't want him to be in pain. He does not wimper or anything when this happens. ...
