If it's not one, it's the other

Every once in a while the dogs get a little limpy to them. Sometimes its from laying the wrong way for too and becoming stiff, somtimes its a little arthritis.

On Thursday I noticed Jawsy with a little limp, it didn't look to bad so I didn't think much of it. She still had it the next day but still not bad. When I got home from work on friday she didn't come to greet me and when I went to see here she didn't get up she barely moved and barely moved from that spot the rest of the night I think she moved only once. When I woke up this morning I found her in a different spot by lying in her own pee because shw couldn't get up. I tried to prompt her up, she sat and took a few steps but I could see she was really wobbly in her hind legs.

My vet's office was closed, so I called a vet nearby where Bob's daughter Sarah and neice Kim happen to work they were able to sqeeze her in today. I had to carry her to and from the car, I was hoping it wasn't hip dysplasia because there's nothing you can do for it. Turns out she has really bad arthritis in her knees and hip joints but its not hip dysplasia. So they gave her a shot of pain med, and some pain meds for home as well as antibiotic. Hopefully she'll get better otherwise she may have to have some xrays done to check out whats going on. SIGH!
