Is she still limping?

Gayle as of this morning the limping was subsiding. I took her anyway to the vet. They don't know what is wrong with her, they just took the blood test to check for lymne disease she has not been bitten by a tick, that I know of .. Last year she had one tick and the vet removed it. That was it.

Her leg was a little swollen incomparison to the other and she had the limp. She didn't eleborate on the disease she said lets see what the blood works comes back tomorrow. I don't know I hope that she doesn't have it either. I did read up on it, thanks for the site . She is fine tonight running around. According to the sites I read that lymne disease causes fever, loss of appetite . Gucci is fine no fever and has a healthy appetite...

I hope it was just a fluke and that she had something in paw and came out.. I will know more tomorrow afternoon. If its lymne disease they give antibodics. I just worry because she has had liver shunt disease...
