My frenchy girl Moolah woke up today with what appears to be some trouble walking. She seemed to favor the right leg,
I looked her over and felt both legs, feet back end and she never even wimpered,,,she didnt want to walk this morning at all.
This was how she woke up out of her crate.
Yesterday she was a crazy girl running around the backyard doing zoomies and we just took down our pool so there was a larger
area of sand she was really zooming through.
She did throw up her dinner last night after going for a walk but then seemed fine. She did fall asleep on the one chair and later we woke her up and she got down and went in her crate for the night.
She seems now this morning to just want to sleep which she is doing on her dog bed...
I just dont want to spend hundreds of dollars at the vet on xrays or whatever if this will pass...
I was going to see how she goes through the day and then maybe decide tomorrow about the vet...

Please anyone with nany opinions or thoughts i would appriciate...also she went to play group Saturday which she hadnr been to in a long time so wondering if she just over did it,,,,she just turned 1 in September, Just so not like her to act this way.....Thanks!!

Hopefully she is just sore from a big day running yesterday. I would watch her closely and take her in if she isn't better by tomorrow, or if you think she is getting worse, or if you notice it in her other leg also, or notice any knuckling over. With the back problems this breed can sometimes have you want to keep a close eye on her.

Isabelle sprained her hip a few weeks ago, she "stood up" on only her back legs and then bam, limping.

We took her to the vet, they looked at her walking, felt her leg (no obvious signs of pain beyond the limp) and said X-rays are really optional because they think it's a sprain.

She was better in 2 days and we basically paid $300 for a few days worth of "pain meds" (tylonol for dogs).

I'd watch closely, definitely more confinement than play. Maybe even walk on a leash for a couple days, if that doesn't help, then I'd consider the vet.

Poor girl, I hope she feels better!
