I'm now mammy'ing her, something I never thought I would do with my akita
We set off for walks yesterday and when she got out of the van she was dragging a hind leg
I' not sure why because I should have thought cruciate 1st and foremost, but instead (bone cancer) stuck in me head, it actually looked fractured, and there is no way she could break a leg without immense force with such bone structure!
Rushed straight back to mams vets where I had been grooming all day
, as my place shuts earlier than theirs, and with a bit of a wiggle it seems her cruciate is well and truely busted (this has been happening over a period) then ping!
hence why I never notcied a thing, and she is not an overly bouncy dog (only when playing), unlike the bouncy rotti.
So pain relief and rest, (horrible seeing her incapacitated) not used to her being weak in any way, she never flnched when vet had a good jiggle, an she looked at me and said "what ever is wrong here are we likely to see any pain reaction from such a beast of a dog"? lol
I said "well no" you won't, she does not feel pain
So she is to be X rayed on Tue and repaired (we can rebuild you) im praying to god anyway.
Im still not discounting the bone cancer but vet at mams practice is 90% sure it's the cruciate.
I also found a dead bird in her kennel (wonder if she has jumped for that) and BUSTED! her leg.
So vibes for bubbabear
