He's been at the vets twice and had x-rays after which the vet pronounced it was a soft tissue injury and recommended on the leash walking for three weeks. I am coming to the end of the three weeks now but am worried to let him off the leash as he limped once after his one the leash walks last week. Any recommendations? He doesn't limp for the vet to see so I'm having a hard time narrowing down the injured area.Louwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645263828774325742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-11843494212815717172010-04-01T12:31:08.580-07:002010-04-01T12:31:08.580-07:00Have you checked her feet between the pads, on her...Have you checked her feet between the pads, on her pads and between her toes to make sure she didn't get a cut or step on something hidden under the snow? Check her toenails to make sure one isn't infected. <br /><br />I would highly recommend you take her to your vet. It's not normal for an 8 month old pup to just lay around. She shouldn't be that wore out after a walk or playing in the snow, even if she did injure herself in the snow. It shouldn't take a day or two for her to recover from some exercise. There could be something else going on that has nothing to do with the first incident a couple weeks ago.<br /><br />You can take your hands and feel her legs starting at the top and working down and feel for any swelling that you may not be able to see. Check her shoulder area and around her hips and check her ankles and feet. But if she were one of mine, I would get her checked out with the vet as soon as possible. <br /><br />Linda ColeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-57446496031944384282010-04-01T07:35:58.908-07:002010-04-01T07:35:58.908-07:00My 8 month old Golden Retriever was playing in the...My 8 month old Golden Retriever was playing in the snow about 2 1/2 weeks ago. She came home and didnt want to walk. She was hurting. But she had no limp. The next day she was fine. Since then, even the littlest of walks I take her on, (just around the block), she seems to act the same when I get her home. Doesnt want to walk, just sleep. The next day she is usually fine. 2 days ago, I took her to the snow again, and it took almost the whole 2 days to get her back to normal. Yesterday, all she did was lay around, not wanting to walk again.
