Update: Apparently, Felice's mama has some walking troubles, too. She skips sometimes, and the head of our rescue thinks it might be luxating patella. So mama is off to the vet first...
Felice has been having trouble walking. She kind of clomps and her legs slide out from under her. I am hoping she just needs to get some strength. The other puppies are bounding and running, and she is always trying to keep up. I moved them out of their puppy pen and am giving them the dining room and kitchen, so she willed be forced to exercise. We always have people willing to taken the broken pups, but I really, really want her to be healthy.
I don't know if this is helpful, but there was a bulldog puppy who had the same thing and the owner made a kind of "chute" that forced the puppy to stand up to get to the end to strengthen his legs, perhaps this might help. Just a thought, and just want to thank you for all your hard work!
ReplyDeleteOh that sounds like a great idea...thank you!
ReplyDeleteI know we ALL want them to be healthy. They are all just as adorable as can be!
