Typing this from my phone so apologies for errors. Also sorry for length!
My Weim/Basset puppy (10 months?) isn't putting any weight on his right hind leg. I checked the entire thing for swelling and injuries including his toenails and pads and webbing (and I'm a horse girl so deff know and am sensitive to things like minute swelling). Can't find anything and he didn't exhibit obvious signs of pain though he did get uncomfy after awhile and pull his leg away from me.
I already made a vet appt but the earliest they had was 5pm today. The girl on the phone mentioned X-rays just based off what I told her/just told you. I love my vet but they can be a little gung ho in the expensive procedure department and I just wanted to get an idea of what you guys thought. I have a friend who works with dogs at a daycare and is getting training certified -- she said I should give it another day or two (til Monday really since the vet isn't open on Sunday) but she also leans a bit in the farm girl/tough it out/don't shell out $$ direction...
So, opinions? Vet ASAP and pay whatever it takes? Wait and see?
