Dog is injured? Need input.

I believe it is Varsity Vet off Edgewater just south of Princeton.

Thanks- I'll look into them.

Could be a Luxating Petella. Very common in small dogs. Our Yorkie had it, and she required $1200 surgery to fix it.

I'll keep that filed away, though it doesn't appear that's what she is experiencing.



She has been better yesterday and today. Interested in playing a little, able to get up my front steps on her own... she seems to be on the up-slope. I did notice a dime-sized sore on the inner part of the problem leg. I'm wondering if that has something to do with it.

As mentioned above try a high glucosamine "JD" diet for joint lubrication.

We had a dog that had a bad ball and socket joint in his rear leg and would do the same intermittent limp on occasion when experiencing impact from a jump of significance height.

Th vet recommended this food and it never happened again. The other option was surgery.

My pit tackled me once and we both limped for a few days, she was cool after.
