No, it will not shorten their life. There are many medications that can

help - Rimadyl, etc. It is just like a human getting arthritis - it usually

doesn't go away but you can live with it.

I didn't know who else to ask so of course I came to you guys. Toby, my

sheltie mix, has had an off and on limp for a while now. It is not all

the time. It is only after he has played rough. It used to happen

sometimes but now we know it will happen when he is running back and

forth in the yard chasing the next door dogs through the fence. He is

going to get an MRI and the doctor thought it may be a pinched nerve.

Prevacox helps him but I am wondering what could be causing this. I am

about to spend $300 and I was just wondering if anyones dogs had ever

experienced this so I can get an idea as to what to expect. He is only

6 years old. Between losing Jake last June and getting Emma through

pneumonia and parvo, I am emotionally tapped out with my dogs. They are

my babies and I want him to live a long healthy life. I love this dog.

He is going back to the vet but maybe you doggie lovers can tell me if

you have seen this before? It is his front right leg.

I know it can occur at any age. Does it shorten their life? I was thinking

arthritis too.

developed

arthritis and the first sign was that she would stumble sometimes when we went

for our walks.

My Lab/Pit Bull had a reoccurring back leg limp. I always happened

after a hard days play with our other 2 dogs. Botox, my neut/alpha male

is Lab/Rott/Wolf mix. We caught him running against her and then

forcing her to abruptly stop. She would then limp for a couple of

days.

Good Luck,

Renie
