She is noticeably showing lameness....moments of being 3 legged, skipping, weight offset for a couple days now. I DID take her to the vet yesterday for discussion and x rays of hip and knee....the xrays have been sent to the surgeon and I hope to hear from her on Monday to advise. She is now on tramadol/metacam (with little benefit, I think). It's not arthritic changes that are the problem as arthritis is minimal as she is still so young. It's so hard to wait to hear from dr after all we have been through with surgery....does anyone have any thoughts on what the problem could be? It would be helpful to know if others had a similar experience :-)
Thanks from Quinn & her Ma ;-) (and her 3 American Cocker 'siblings')
