My poor Logan
I am in tears right now. I never knew a dog could affect me so. I think my little boy, Logan, has Luxating patella. Over the past couple months 3 maybe 4 times Logan would come meet us at the door holding his back left leg up. Since it would go away rather quickly we decided he must of just slept on it funny. Well it's now happened twice this week. It happened last night after he got up from sleeping with my husband, so I researched this morning & he acts like it's LP. I dont' know what to do. I'm so upset. He's so active & athletic, I dont' want him to have these problems. It only happens when he gets up from sleeping. I've never seen it happen when he's running. Plus since he's gotten his shots on tuesday he doesnt' act like himself. He acts like he doesn't feel good & has only wanted to sleep. I think he's depressed, they told me he was too heavy & so I put him on a diet. Plus I took him out the farm & he played really hard after his appointment. But it's been 3 days & he's still not back to his old self. I called the office & his regular vet isn't there today, so I'm going to call her cell once it gets a little later. Please prayer that he's just a little off with the weather changes or something. It could also be that fact that i've been sick & jeremy's been trying to get a job. He's very sensitive to changes in our moods.

I called my vet. She said him being tired & off is normal for a few days after shots, but nothing to worry about. I have an appointment set for monday for them to look at his leg. I should of had it done tuesday, but since it had only happened a few times, I thought it was nothing.

There yearly shots affect a couple of mine where they want to lay around all the time, don't want to eat..just act like no energy. The others, it doesn't bother at all. Maybe the shot is affecting his leg too. I hope it's not LP, but some dogs do not get any worse at all and do just fine. Others gradually get worse and need surgery, but I would always get a second opinion for LP surgery. If it's not really necesary, then I would wait.

I hope that you find out that it's nothing. These poor little dogs so much can affect them.
