Subject: Re: limping

That happened to my Lady Taz very recently. One day I noticed her
limping real bad, and decided to wait a day and see what happened. She
would continue to eat, drink and poop normal, just couldn't walk very
much. She was no better the next day (in fact a little worse, she
could barely keep her balance standing up), so we went to the vets and
had x-rays takens. Like yours, she was very sensistive to any
pressure to her shoulder area. Luckily the x-rays revealed no break
or dislocation, so it was a soft tissue injury, which meant strict
confinement for a good 7-10 days. It actually took 14 days, but she
is fully back to normal dooking and singing away.

I would suggest an x-ray as soon as possible to rule out any breaks or
dislocation and confine to a one level area. Good luck
