Actually I have her blocked off with the x-pen in the front of the house. She isn't interested at all in walking. She wouldn't even get up to go outside to potty. No big deal, I'll just clean up the mess in the morning. Love those tile floors.

That was my concern that a pain pill would mask the symptoms. I gave her a Tramadol HCL 50mg. These were pills that they had given me for Jez, but I never got to use them because Jez died that night. Lynse said it wouldn't cause a problem. I have been keeping her perfectly still which hasn't been a problem because she has no interest in walking. I know she is in pain because if she walks around she starts panting, which means she is hurting. Anytime she has ever pulled a muscle it is always her front leg and she just limps on it for a couple of hours. Allan did tell me today that he took her for a ride in the S10 pickup and she was fine, but when they got home she did jump out of the car. But he said she was still walking fine afterwards.

I would definately crate rest her a couple days...out to potty on a lead only, and no wrastlin with the others. If she continues, after a couple days of strict crate rest. Definately get her to the vet for it to be checked.

Keep us updated.

yep, rest is best, try it for a couple of days and see how she does. Could just be a torn muscle.

Good luck with her, poor girl.

determining a damaged ACL is an experienced jusgement call made by taking history, examining the dog's movement and examining the dog itself. Muscle strains/sprains would be the better news to hear but ACL or CCL damages don't show on x-rays. What pain pill did you give...and I strongly suggest you don't give any more until doc has examined the dog as it can give misleading info re pain or movement interference...just R & R for 1-2 days and if no improvement, then vet exam.
