Limping

I noticed that Sam was limping slightly this morning on his front left leg , so worrier that I am , I took him to the Vets . He is now on short walks and Metacam for a few days , probably a strain or pulled muscle , no wonder really as he crashes around like a tank when retrieving . One thing though, it hasn't put him off his food

 

Poor Sam... get better soon!

 

Get well soon Sam, nothing wrong with being a worrier especially where limps are concerned..

 

Totally agree with Pilatelover . You can not be too cautious with limps. Hope Sam is back to his normal crashing around very soon.

 

Speedy recovery Sam!

 

Harley sends healing licks to Sam Hope a few days of short walks and metacam help x

 

Pleased to read that it is nothing serious; you are like me, we worry, so down to the vet for reassurance and treatment.

 

Thanks all , I have to take him back if no improvement in a day or so , as yet no improvement but I guess it will take the metacam a little while to kick in , aren't they such a worry ?

 

Hope it clears up quickly.

 

Hope he's feeling better soon.

Metacam shouldn't take long to have an effect. But I guess it depends on how sore things are and in what way they are sore.

 

Hope you are back to normal very soon big Sam Lots of hugs from us xxx

 

Speedy recovery Sam xx

 

How is Sam today Kate? Hope he is feeling a bit better xx

 

Thanks for asking Helen , I didn't take him out this morning , he just snoozed but just taken them both on grass for five/ten minutes , he did start off with a limp but it improved as he walked . This will be the order of the day for a little while , rest and metacam , but all in all, a little improvement from yesterday, cautiously optimistic

 

Any improvement is better than none. I really hope Sam will be back to normal very soon. xx

 

Hope he's better soon.

 

Hoping Sam is better soon x

 

Thanks again for the get well wishes for Sam His limp is worse after rest and then gradually improves as he uses his foot until by the end of the day , the limp is hardly noticeable . He is still having what I call Corridor Walks , ones with no opportunity to charge left or right and only for a few minutes a day until I feel confident that he is all better

 

Hope Sam is fully recovered soon, restricted exercise is no fun for anyone.
