Well, bad news. Koira is limping again. This time, it started in the morning today and has lasted all day. I stretched her out good first thing this morning, which loosened it up a good bit and reduced the severity of the limp. By the time I got home from work, she was holding the foot up again not wanting to use it at all. Again, stretching it out helped a lot, but did not get rid of the limping. Hopefully she'll be feeling better by tomorrow.
While I was stretching out Koira, I decided to do some stretching with Pallo as well. One stretch we do (and the dogs both naturally do often) is have their front legs on the ground, back legs on my lap straight behind them. This time, though, as Pallo straightened his legs out behind him, I felt first one, then the other, hip make a huge pop. He didn't act like it hurt at all, and has been fine since then, so I guess if anything it was a needed adjustment. It sure did give me a scare though for the first minute.
Hope Koira is ok soon and that the limp is nothing major!
ReplyDeleteYes paws crossed that Koira is OK :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope Koira recovers soon. Limps are a worry. Frankie had a bad limp on a front leg once and I had him x-rayed, no broken bones so crate rest for weeks. Anyway, that didn't help so I just let him be normal and it eventually came right over night! This was after a few months of limping! He got it again and this time it came right in a matter of a week or so.
ReplyDeleteWhew, glad that Pallo's hip was just making a noise and not an injury.
Are you going to have a go at the DWTDS competition? I hope so, the more the merrier:) I have chose our music but that's about all, lol.
Ooooh! I really think that you should do the DWTDS, you and your dogs seem to be very talented.
ReplyDeletePoor Koira, get well soon!
Poor Koira! Fingers crossed that her limp goes away soon.
