Needs some advice??

Post by Jmcpeters »

I have a three year old that is new to me and when she runs for a couple of hours she starts holding her front leg up and won't put any weight on it and I can't find anything wrong the next day she will be bouncing around. Got any advice what is wrong with her? Thanks.

First thing I would do is check the pad. Soak it in pickle juice and see if that helps. Notice if she only carries it for a while, then puts it back down for a while or when she lifts it she doesn't put it down at all the rest of the day.

I have hunted her twice and when she lifts it she don't put it back down she will run the race with it tucked up

Believe it is the pad or something between her toes, maybe a nail. Muscles take longer than one day to get back to normal. I have seen many dogs run with one leg up and we laughingly called them 3 legged but it was a habit and during a day they switched from one back leg to the other, not a front leg.
Good luck in solving this.
