Podengo Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 One of Elsie's leg muscles seized up before, the muscle in her left thigh went rigid and the leg kind of extended forward a little and I couldn't get her to stretch it back past where her leg normally goes under her. She wasn't in any pain, had a waggy tail while I was freaking out over it. Lasted for about 2 minutes, as soon as I picked up the phone to call the vet it went normal again. It's 7.40am here, she has eaten breakfast but has not been exercised this morning (no fetch or anything), and we didn't go out yesterday since the weather was miserable, but played a bit of tug and did some obedience training. She did go for a big off lead walk on Monday. Have got a vet appointment scheduled for just over an hour away, she seems fine right now sitting on my bed as usual at this time in the morning. Any ideas of what's going on???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazyWal Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Hope Elsie is ok. I agree with Perse, Stan gets cramps quite a bit and a massage for a couple of minutes fixes it. Unlike Elsie, Stan screams like a banshee when he gets one. He is a tad on the woosy side my boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also screams when you take a non stick bandage off...just in case it MAY hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
