help needed

hi all my 8 yr old saluki/ghd has gone down hill fast,it started when i came back of my hols in june, my girlfriends mum had been lead walking her for 2 weeks because she cant be trusted around the farm cats when we got back i took them out for some free running my bitch had put on a lot of weight due to the lead walking and muscle waste. i commented she is running like a donkey at the time i thought it could be due to the extra weight so i cut down her food and exercised her more and she developed a limp in her front right leg. over a 6 week perid, the condition worsened i cant pin point the problem but i think its in her shoulder / elbow joint. when she stands her leg just gives way and its like she has no coordination / feeling init. yesterday she fell over whilst having a crap. i am taking her to the vets ,but i think it is quite serious and not sure if she will recover. if anybody has encountered this condition in a running dog please reply to this post. all the best BB.
