Anna has done this with her left front leg, then it went away after a day or 2. Then it came back a few months later and lasted several days so we took her to her vet. The x-rays showed nothing and he did an extensive evaluation. He twisted and manuvered each joint from each toe up to & including her shoulder. He had us try Tramadol even though she did not yelp or wince. This is the same identical pill I take for arthritis & fibromyalgia. We gave her a few doses and we limited her activity. It did not seem to make a difference she still limped. We had scheduled for a more extensive exam under anesthesia but she stopped limping before the procedure. The last episode has been nearly a year ago and she has had no problem since. If I remenber right Anna & Richard's Susie will be 6 in June. If the Rimadyl does no good try to get off it ASAP due to side effects.
