My 11 month old puppy, Hazel, been having issues walking for awhile now. At first I thought it was just her being a puppy and she would grow out of it but unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case. Hazel tends to occasionally scrape her toenails while on walks, even on short ones, and doesn't seem to pick up her feet all the way because most of the time she walks I can hear the pads on her back feet hitting the ground. She has already been to see the Vet, who did and exam and x-rays of her hips and spine. The spine looked good as did the hips, he also checked her ears which were good as well.
I've been trying to get some videos for the Vet to look at of her walking because as usual when at the Vet's office she seems fine. I need some fresh eyes to look at them and tell me if her walking seems off or not. I've been watching her walk for too long it all looks the same to me now. To me it looks like she's limping on her hind end on both sides and I can't tell if her front seems off or not. I've asked family and friends but they are no help, most think I'm crazy and nothings wrong. In their defense, I do have the tendency to overreact a bit when it comes to my animals.
These were taken around the end of July:
- Short leash, right side
- Short leash, left side
These were taken a few days ago:
- Loose leash, right side
- Loose leash, left side
Sorry the quality of the videos isn't the best, they were taken with my digital camera.
So what do you think does this look normal? Also, do these videos seem good enough for me to send to the Vet? If not I have about 2 dozen more videos I've taken that I can choose from.
Thanks in advance.
