shushycatcher 219 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) Went out to feed my bitch when i got home tonight and she just didnt look right.Usually she is at the kennel door really happy and raring to go,but tonight she just stood there looking miserable.She seems very lethargic and really stiff also when i touch the top of her legs behind the pins she crys out,any ideas what this could be,will go to vets tomorrow but any advice from anyone would be appreciated. thanks shushy.

Trigger 26 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) vets are good in alot of ways but if the dog as put its back out then the vet might not be the best person to put it right, if the vet says its out i would take it to someone who specalizes in doing dogs backs it can save you money in the long run and get your dog back to health alot faster. there are alot of places about that do horses and dogs.

"Earth!" 503 Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 take her to your local greyhound vet bud. ring your local track/stadium,they will give you a number and they dont tend to be robbing buggers unlike the normal vet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wild Whippies 11 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 I would do both. Finish the meds to get the inflammation down then take them to either a chiropracter / dog man for manipulation incase the muscles and ligaments haven't gone back into alignment. Be careful who you choose and go on recommendation as there's some out there who are very heavy handed and can cause your dog a lot of pain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
