Dog limping 8 months after TPLO surgery
Hi my dog (5 yo gsd) had a successful TPLO surgery to left back leg in September of last year. After the restricted recovery period got the go ahead that ever looked good on her X-rays around Christmas. All has seemed good as we have pretty much gotten back to regular activity (walks, playing with other dogs, fetch with her chuck it) and all has seemed great. Then the other day she jumped on my bed and then wouldn’t put any weight on the leg after. She seemed okay after that but today same thing happened when getting into the back of my car, instantly holding left back leg up and wouldn’t put weight on it. Now an hour later she seems to be walking around normal again.
I’m so scared that something with her plate? The healing period was so long and I am so scared of having to put her through it again.
Should we just avoid strenuous activity and jumping and just keep an eye on it for a while or does this need urgent X-rays?
Couldn’t get ahold of my vet today.
