Sheena is limping after...
Submitted by Vero Tito Sheena on September 1, 2010 - 5:47pmHi, Sheena is a very active bullldog. She wanna play everyday and run after her ball..like a crazy..rolling over herself casue she wanna catch it so bad.
So after a hard play she is limping a bit...always the same leg. I try not to make her run for couple days after but if i skip one day of walking..she jump on and off the couch while running toward tito. She got too much energy to not walk and sleep all day. Do you know if i can give her something like advil for the inflamation? She's not in pain or maybe is but still wanna jump everywhere.
No advil or ibuprophen
I know that for sure. Hopefully someone will chime in soon.
Skasqueeeeeeakaaay!!

I would hold off on giving anything....
but maybe one aspirin. You might want to keep her really quiet for a few days, see if it will heal up on its own. If you give pain meds, she may romp too hard on it and really injure it badly. If she feels pain, she is more likely to stay off it and give it time to heal up. If you have a crate, now would be the time to use it for while!

How old is Sheena?
Do you give her Glucosamine with Condroitin? She may have a touch of arthritis or joint inflammation of some sort. I don't know the dosage, but I've read that some do buy that for their bullies. If you do a search you may find some info on that.
I bet she's fun to watch when she's romping around.
Hope she get's better soon.
She has never been in a crate...
But her and tito sleeps all day..i saw them on a camera once. I tried putting some ice on her leg yesterday evening..she liked it. Today its better but im sure she will start running and at the end of the evening, it's gonna come back.
Higgy has had so many limpy
Higgy has had so many limpy days I cant even count them. He usually gets better in a few days of not really playing hard. The hard part is trying to be there when they want up and down the couch.
She is 3 years old.
She's so energic. I could try that..i thought she was too young. She's a light weight too..still looks like a puppy to me :)
