New here - My 2 Year old cav is limping after getting up from lying down
Hi - "My 2yr old (almost 3 year old) Cavalier King Charles Spaniel has started limping. It seems only to appear after she gets up from lying down, and the limp is in the front leg. She doesn't appear to be in pain, just limps for the first few steps after getting up...then after a few steps, seems to walk OK. Checked her paw and can find nothing there, and when we manipulate her leg she doesn't pull away or show any sign of pain. What could be causing this?"
This was actually written on another board and I could have written it myself. I took her to the vet and he gave her Previcox to see if the limping would stop. It is just slightly better, maybe 5-10% better, but she is still limping after getting up. She has nothing else out of the ordinary, still jumping, running, eating, going to the br as normal. The vet wants her to have an x-ray done, but I'm just wondering if anyone has any info as to Cavs re: this since someone else posted the exact quote above and it's just as if I had written it myself.
Any ideas would be really great. Thanks!!
