Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Heard of similar in black dogs, cant remember what its called Quote Link to post
bulljack 480 Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 yeh had a black one very same as you said digger, my vet who is good man with workin dogs said its fine plenty of rest after a hunt, and surgery could cause more problems.this bitch could run and work under/over no problem but got very stiff the day after and needed good rest. 1 Quote Link to post
unlacedgecko 1,466 Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Sounds like the dog has a luxating patella. Here is a link to the Wiki page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxating_patella Have a read and make your own judgements. I have an 11yr old pet terrier with it in both hind legs. She has not had any surgery for it and it doesnt seem to slow her down. Be careful when choosing a dog to line her with, as it is an inherited condition. Quote Link to post
digger. 615 Posted October 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 that seems to be whats up with her alright.its shit cause the bitch has not been to much work and for me to get her an op on it and for her to fail would be a bummer but i like the bitch and shes out of decent stuff.was out with her thismorning and she was fine i watched her out the window for a half hour this morning and it seems she lyes down and that leg everytime she gets up small limp then its like it pops back in and shes fine guess il just have to wait it out till i make any decision thanks for that unlacedgecko Quote Link to post

foxdigger13 114 Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Well I'd put her in the kennel and not take her for long walks or anything for a few weeks, just a small walk on the lead, and see if that helped at all, Cheers fd. Quote Link to post
