[QUOTE="LizHartley1991, post: 1468739, member: 31466"] She doesn’t seem lame. I just notice that she walks lopsided sometimes and seems to be having a hard time with her legs. I rubbed the joints and she doesn’t seem to have any pain... Could the weight she’s starting to put on be a factor? She’s still pretty skinny and I can still pick her up and carry her but I can tell she’s out on weight so I wonder if that’s a factor? Also she does this thing where she’ll crisscross her hind legs and turn herself in a circle sometimes. And her back is somewhat arched like a cat sometimes. Also she doesn’t really stretch when she stands up. She stands, shakes her head sometimes, and then slowly tries to me. She can put weight on it... it just looks swollen or like her legs are turned in like she’s bowlegged. Why I mean she was also slight emancipation looking when we got her so her proportions are weird. Also she has very mild scours going on. It’s nothing heavy yet but I’m getting 1 quart in her between feeds so she can get electrolytes in her so I don’t know if that’s a factor. Another reason I ask is she doesn’t like to move. She can and will move around. But not if she has to, you know? Again I know she’s not feeling good so I expect some slow movements s being tired, but it’s still seems like she has to think before she decides to move. So that’s why I’m wondering if her legs are messed up from sickness or if it’s from weight gain or if it’s something more. I will of course ask a vet just thought I’d see what you all think too.
