Poor willow has been limping on her front left leg for about two weeks, i had some metacam left over from when asha needed some and have confined her to the garden, luckily asha has been on an exercise ban since her op 3 weeks ago so that was quite easy to do!
Anyway, weaned her off the metacam and took her for a little walk just along the street and she is still limping and is especially stiff when getting up
I have noticed that her front legs are not very bendy when she walks recently and i just have a bad feeling about it so i took her to the vets
The vet examined her and said she shouldnt really be having these sorts of problems at 3 (she is only just 3 her birthday was yesterday? and so he wants to xray both her front legs, i have asked him to xray her hips as well .
So poor willow is now fasting and off to the vets at 0845 i just hope its not ED but i have a feeling it will be

Here goes - Just rang the vet and she has got moderate hip displaysia and has signs of arthritic changes in both elbows
I have always known that her hips werent the best because of her waddle, so nothing needs doing there as the vet says she doesnt seem to be in pain with the hips at the moment, she is on cod liver oil and also glucosamine powder and has been since 6 months old,
Her elbows, he has prescribed her something called "privacot" dont know how it is spelt and wants to see her again in 10 days
Has anyone any knowledge of this drug? I tried to google it but not having much luck
