Good Morning FOOFs
I am a little worried about ZuZu. She has been favoring one of her back legs for almost 2 weeks now. When she is standing, she doesn't put any weight on one of her back legs. After she has been laying down for awhile, when she gets up, she starts hopping on only one back leg. Once she has walked around for a couple of minutes, she starts putting weight on the leg and will walk normally. I don't notice it being an issue when she is outside walking in the grass. But when she walks inside on the tile floor, that leg that is bothering her seems to slide outward from her body when she is walking.
At first I thought she might have stepped on something and cut her pad on that foot. I can move her leg around and she doesn't care but sometimes if you rub on the pad of her foot, she will jerk around like it's bothering her. I don't see anything in the pad though. I guess if she doesn't get better by the weekend, she will be going back to the vet. After her scare with the lodged obstruction in her intestines a few weeks ago, I was hoping to avoid more trips to the vet. My wallet is still hurting from all the vet trips 3 weeks ago.
