Maybe you should wait until the dog is fit before attempting to show Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rugersrob 38 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 sorry guys but if a dog is limping thats because theres a problem!!!!!! giving painkillers just hides and prolongs the injury........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southcott 9 Posted February 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Thanks all the vet thinks its the elbow joint,she has a good hip score, but elbows have not been done, we have only had her a short time, and age is not on her side she is 5 now, Never mind yet another pet.
