Front foot limping

3923 Views 11 Replies 6 Participants Last post by  Cinder
Came home from lunch today and Atticus was limping BADLY on what appears to be his front right leg. Vet can't see him till Thursday, said I can only give him Baby Aspirin. I wonder what it could possibly be. He let me molest both front legs and wander about his pads and paws without even letting a whimper out, just stared at me with those big "I love you" eyes. I'm wondering if he could have sprained his leg sliding around on the linoleum we have in the kitchen.

Do dogs have ACL's in their front legs?

Took him to the vet yesterday...said that with these larger breeds the 6 month to a year period is the time when "injuries" start surfacing. Vet said he's not 110% sure what is going on right now, but gave him anti-inflammatories to rule out some possibilities. Said if those don't work and he's still limping after two weeks, we'll have to bring an orthopedic guy in.
How is he doing today...is he ok :?: ..

Thanks for asking, Erica. You know, now that you mention it, I didn't notice him limping. I was too busy cleaning the pee off the bed from him peeing in his sleep (for some reason he has really adverse reactions to shots from the vet, and ends up wetting the bed).
AWWHHH..Poor Thing..he just feelin sh*#[email protected] all they way around..

Get well soon..
