My Granddoggy's Front Leg Went Out of Place

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • J

    My Grandoggy, Jasper's, front leg went out of place when he jumped down from the couch. He limped for a few seconds and then was O.K. He didn't act like the leg was hurting him when I palpated the leg and joint. The affected joint seemed to be the shoulder of the left leg–closest to the body. He is 5 years old. What could this be?

    Good news. After finishing a 14 day course of antibiotics, using antifungal/antibacterial wipes, and a switch in food, Mojo's toes are almost back to normal. Fingers (and toes) crossed that whatever he had doesn't come back. (The comment about dogs thinking bitter apple is a great basting sauce was cute. ) [image: 1529958787378-mojo-x27-s-toes-21-jun-2018-sm.jpg]

    Anytime I have a dog that has a UTI, I add extra water to their food. I also give Cranberry pills. I sometimes give Vitamin C but that is based on the ph level of the urine and the recommendation of the vet. My dogs rarely have crystals but perhaps I catch the UTIs early. It seems like rescues I get from shelters almost always have UTIs. I think they get it from either holding it too long because they do not want to get their kennel dirty or because they eat dry food and drink water separately. Jennifer

    We use a cool coat on our dogs from time to time, mostly at shows.
