Any one ever had any dogs damage a cruciate ligament in their hind leg?
Mum is now at the vets with one of the GSD's as she's gone very lame on her hind leg. Was very worried it might be a hip to start with especially as she's only 2 but she thinks it's a cruiciate ligament.
As a pup she was a little lame on the leg for a short while and it happened on and off. It never seemed painful to touch, just a little awkward for a few strides and then she was ok. It was put down to being an energetic pup having strained herself.
Since then before christmas she wasa bit lame on same leg a few hours after a walk. Hadn;t done anything different and was ok the following day.
Now she has been lame since Thursday evening. Vets couldn't see her yesterday and said they couldn't fit her in until Monday though as she's extremely sore today, there's been no improvement and she's not herself at all Mum has managed to get her seen today. She won't put any weight on the leg whatsoever.
Mum seems to think it's a cruciate problem after doing a bit of research.
Anyone experienced this?
