spike 0 Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Hello all As above; dog started lying down, almost "lame" took to vet - dislocated(hind) knee. Course of antibiotics & restricted exercise for 3 weeks (which has been a tw@t so far). Just wondered has anyone had a dog with a similar injury? It's been 2 weeks now & I'm starting to extend his work to 2 or 3 half hour walks - all on lead - he's showing no signs of the lameness he was ie lying down sporadically; but as he stretched out before I checked the joint & it clicked but didn't pop. So, after the essay, would you think this was normal? At least it stayed in the joint) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
