Two weeks ago, Dylan suddenly started limping on his front leg. It was so faintly though that I couldn't even work out what leg it was. I kept him on lead until Wednesday and he wasn't limping at all, so I let him off lead. Within 5 minutes though he was limping quite badly.
I took him to see Mark and he suggested x-rays... probably thinking the same as me... better safe than sorry as lurchers and older dogs are particularly prone to osteosarcoma. X-rays came back clear with a little something around a toe, but nothing drastic. Mark sent it on to Fitzpatrick to get their interpretations, but I haven't contacted them yet to find out about it.
Dylan has been on lead for 10 days now and he is not limping at all, he wasn't limping from the following day of the x-rays so I haven't actually given him any Rimadyl either which Mark prescribed...
I'll book Dylan in for this Thursday (when I am off) to have a chat with Mark, but I guess he'll be able to go off lead again after that and we'll see what happens.
