Limping

[Sharon]

Haven't seen the vet yet as it is not an emergency . Just looking for other experiences.

My 10 year old setter limps on her right leg for a day after a 2 hour run. Then it's fine.
I have pain meds for that which solves the pain problem.
Also been on Dasquin ( joint supplement) for a year.

Never seen much to read much on front leg problems.

Is it shoulder or elbow? Arthritis or ....

Any experiences?

My 12 year old has been doing that for a year or so now. Doesn't appear to bother when running but when walking or just moping around he limps. Only reaction I can get occasionally is possibly a sprain of the elbow or higher in the shoulder. Has never gotten worse so I can't pin pointed either. At this stage just another mystery.

My 12 year old is gimpy in front, too. He's been a hard runner all his life, and is straight in the rear, so his front has taken a beating. Carprofen helps him a lot. He's on Dasuquin MSM too, and does better with it than without it.

Glad to hear that- "He's on Dasuquin MSM too, and does better with it than without it." quote

I always wonder is the supplement actually makes a difference.

My 5 year old will limp on front leg after hunting once in awhile. Not sure what caused it but it always clears up in a day or two. Never really got it checked out since it always got better. I assume she is prone to muscle, tendon injuries??
