Our little Shadwrack may be hurt

well last night we noticed he was walking really funny and kinda limping. Well it looks like when he is walking that his right rear leg is broken or dislocated at the joint we are not for sure. We have a vet tech coming to our house this afternoon to look at him and see what it might be but if she can;t find anything we are off to the vet. He shows no pain or anything. Not sure how it happend. It like a freak accident He just walks around like normal and still plays.. but its so gross to see him walk because of how is joints move. ewww... wish him luck guys that is not bad

I hope that everything is ok. He might of just springed it by junping off of something like the bed or the chair.

I would take him to the vet and not wait!.If it is dislocated or broken,walking and playing can make it worst,to the point of not being able to repair it,propally!.
Do keep us posted and I'm truly sorry about this!.

He is doing better then last night it looks better we have kept him crated just let him use the bathroom and he feels he must run around... I mean maybe its something that he has always had... when i got him his annual in january I told the vet that I thought his back legs were shaped funny and they said he was fine but now I wonder if maybe he may have something wrong with him that they did not see

Hope he feels better...

Could it have just been a bug bite or a sting?
Like right on the joint so it looked like it was actualy the joint moving? But it was just the skin swollen?
Just a thought!
Hope he's better!

[Midlifeloki]

no its def not a bug bite.. you can see the bones or maybe its just be and he double jointed or something weird like that... My husband escribes it like..... well he says it looks like he is hype extending his leg when he walks

Could it be a luxating Patella?

wow thatsounds kind like whats going on..because you notice it and then dont notice it. Vet tech that came by said she does notice some swellen and she brought me some anit inflamtories to help him but he is walking around normal now... he has been couped in the crate all da.. she left to go get something but she is coming back so maybe he will show some sign so she can see it

mayybe it was just a sore muscle/hip and being crated all day made it better who knows...
