Dog is limping

I have a rottweiler, actually inherited him. He is only 10 months old, limping. Every time I look at him, he walks differently. Either back or front legs seem to hurt him. I don't want to take him to a conventional vet, firstly don't want to put him through ops and also cannot afford huge fees. Would like to know, if someone has used chirocraptor for dogs and with what results. What would be approximate costs? Please advise, as soon something needs to be done for Gee.
I have tried EFT, (absolute beginner) but doesn't seem to help.- Re: Dog is limping Invincible

Hi there,
Obviously, I can not say what the cause is .. but if you have tried EFT and there is absolutely no change, then we could assume that this is not an emotional imbalance.
Here are things to try (from my own experience they helped a LOT)
1. Cod Liver Oil - really helps any type of inflammation in a dog. Not sure the size of your dog, but when one of mine bruised his leg, I gave him a teaspoon each day and he is 20lbs in weight. The inflammation died down very quickly and that was all that was needed.
2. I used a Canine Osteopath after a horrific incident at the groomers. He must have really been under stress because when I got him home, he was all lop sided and his tail did not hang straight. (I no longer send my dogs to groomers but my partner and I have learnt to do it all ourselves). The Canine Osteo was amazing. Within 30 minutes with gentle massage, it was all corrected. He said the problem was similar to sciatica. We only needed the one session (cost me £40 = approx $65)
3. This is not something I use, but I saw it on iherb and recommended it to a few dog owners I've met as the ingredients are fantastic for joints and inflamatory issues and these have helped their dogs regain more mobilty. It's called: 'Sea Mobility' by Ark Naturals. There are 2 flavours in this brand that I would recommend (Venison jerky and the Lamb jerky) - the other ones have ingredients I wouldn't recommend.
You can use the discount code "MAY985" to get $5 off your first order from iherb.
Lamb jerky: http://www.iherb.com/Ark-Naturals-Sea-Mobility-Lamb-Jerky-Approx-22-ct-9-oz-2...
Venison jerky: http://www.iherb.com/Ark-Naturals-Sea-Mobility-Venison-Jerky-Approx-22-CT-9-o...
4. You can also try a 1 part apple cider vinegar 2 parts water spray on his legs and let air dry - that can also help ease pain/inflammation - and/or 3% h2O2 spray.
If you are absolutely sure there are no broken bones or something that would require immediate attention, then please try the above.
Hopefully others will have further suggestions.
Best wishes, I hope you find your solution soon.

Hi Maya,
Thanks so much for your detailed help. Reading up info on large dogs, Gee may suffer hip dysplasia. Finally I"ve found an animal chiroprator not too far from us, will try to book in right after New Year holidays. That would be what you call the The Canine Osteo? Havne't tried cod oil, but am giving him fish oil, MSM powder, and aspirin. One more week, hopefully he can be helped. It could be he has dislocated a joint as when he was a pup, he couldn't run on wet surface, he'd be sliding and falling everywhere. I live in Australia, it is so hard to get some of the products in here, just won't pass custom, or suppliers are advising, they're not sending to oz. Thanks again, and I am enjoying your informative posts.

Hi Susan
You can look up the different ingredients on those products I linked to and then make up something yourself to add to his food.
I couldn't find a Canine chiro in the UK but eventually found some Canine Osteopaths (Osteos do similar work as chiros but also spend a lot of time looking at the muscular aspects as well) - it turned out that there were not many qualified ones and absolutely none near where I lived (the closest was a 150 mile journey away).
I eventually managed to speak to this lovely Canine Osteo on the phone and she said that it would be a bad idea for me to take my dog on such a long journey as it may cause a lot of discomfort.
We got on really well on the phone and even though at the time she felt that I might need to try something else (because of the distance) we got talking about other subjects. She had a big problem with the website that she had been building and had got stuck on how to fix it. Since I know a little about website creation, I offered to help her and took a look at her site and fixed her problem for her. She was so happy because in the 2 weeks she had been trying to resolve this problem, no one had managed to come up with a solution.
The lovely piece of this story is ... she phoned me back after an hour and told me she had contacted all the animal osteos she knew about my dog and one of them informed her that he had a weekly contract with a race horse breeder and that it was not too far away from me and she convinced him that he should come to my home and give my dog the treatment!! He was brilliant - 1 session only.
On another note, and this may be more important (so sorry about the above ramble ... just wanted to share!) ...
When I woke up this morning, I had some thoughts about your dog.
I think there is an emotional reason that he grew too quickly. It's very likely that he wasn't feeling safe as a puppy or carried over some issues from his mother while in her womb about not being safe - and the fast growth was a way for him to feel safer in terms of self protection.
This might be something you want to use EFT on - to make him now fully understand that in your care, he is absolutely safe and protected. (The mind-emotion-body connection/metaphor is "I don't have a leg to stand on")
Tap on:
"Eventhough I feel unsafe and unprotected ... I choose to release those feelings and understand that all is well in my life now"
"Eventhough I don't have a leg to stand on, I am safe and protected now"
You can use other words to that effect or tune in to more issues around that - think about why he might have felt unsafe, unprotected ... and also consider tapping around abandonment and helplessness issues.
Thank you for being a fine example of a loving dog owner!
Much Love

P.S. Reading one of your other posts ... both my dogs are 70-100% raw (on any given day) and way less aggressive than most non raw dogs. My feelings about this is that 1. some of the chemicals in processed foods may cause a negative mental reaction 2. That agressive people create aggressive dogs - dogs often pick up the emotions of their owners - so don't worry about going all the way with raw foods, it's natural for them to eat this way.

This is a reply to # 1,546,689Maya, what a lovely post!
So happy for you that you can get the help for your dog, even though in an around way. You see, you've helped someone and in turn you got helped. Isn't it wonderful to share knowledge?
Since reading your previous post, Gee have had no cooked food, raw only. His favourite, lamb. I have started giving him supplements I've had at home.
Interesting about the emotional part.
We have inherited him. We;ve never had a pet, because I was worried, we cannot give them quality care, time. Always felt a bad mother to refuse my son's request for a pet. I knew he would not walk dog, etc. My son is 21 now, his friend has moved away, was not allowed to take his 6 months old rotti, and since we have the big enough backyard, and dog knew my son, friend asked if my son would take him. I must stress, this friend, a young man of 21 has taken the very best care of this animal. Physically and emotionally. Although they did say goodbye to each otherk, so I wonder if this has upset this dog somehow. My son has brought home puppy without permission. To say the least, I've nearly had a heart attack. I was scared of him first, mainly because of rottis' reputation. 4 days later, my son said, he is passing the dog onto some other friend who aleady has two rotties. I was not happy but didn't wan to stop him. After some chat, my son admitted he wants to give the dog away, as he is scared of him. I guess, for the same reason I was. I've asked, than why did he bring him home? He answered he felt sorry for dog and friend. This was in mid-August, dog became quicly attached to me, actually to all family. I've became the main carer, had him de-sexed. vaccinated. (Local Council demands this, or dog may end up in pound) Dog is very calm, obeying, often over affectionate, wanting uddles, rubs as soon as he's neaer me. So I think, if he has had any emotional issues, maybe he has resolved them very quickly (on the surface?) In the last 6 days, when taken out for a walk, after a km, he sits down, refuses to move. I can't work it out if he's in pain, tired, or just doesn't want to go home. He sits on nature strip, very alert, but calm, watching cars,people going by. I can beg, ask, threaten him, tickle his paws, he won't move only in his time. This could be up to half an hour. Then as soon as we turn into our court, he plonks down again. So this has become another problem. Otherwise, very loving, calm, doesn't bark, welcomes our friends. Interested in everything, watches what's going on the household, seem to understand each family member's name. I have promised to previous owner and to myself, I shall take care of this dog the best I am able to.
Maya, you sound such a caring person, this is why I've dared to write out my worries, problems regarding this intelligent addition to our family.
Thanks for reading this, and thanks for your sound advice.
Hope all we'll be weel for you and your canine darlings.

He sounds like such an intelligent, wise dog!
It's true that dogs do live in the moment and release emotions much quicker than humans ... however, they do remember and will still carry unresolved emotions in their energetic field. To be separated from the original owner at 6 months would have been quite traumatic. It would be similar to a 3-4 year old child being removed from his parent to another family without understanding why. And then (understandably) for you and your son to be feeling fearful around him for a while ... he would have picked that up too.
From what I understand about dog psychology, dogs start getting very attached from age 3 months onwards, that's why it's best to pick up a puppy between 10 and 12 weeks old. With my first dog, we didn't get him until he was just gone past 4 months and up until that time, he had been crated with his sister who he had grown very close to. I had to do quite a bit of emotional work with him ... the Bach flower remedies and some homeopathics really worked well, plus making sure he had lots of contact and social play with other dogs. Once we got dog 2, all became much better.
I don't know why he is sitting and not moving - it could be that he feels physically weak and needs to rest .. but it could also be that he is misreading your commands. I did see an episode of the Dog Whisperer where Cesar Millan used his special understanding to keep a dog focused moving forward who was afraid of walking at times. You might have to consider different tactics. Try not to feel frustrated when he doesn't move, maybe you could just patiently wait with him and see if that changes his actions. Another tactic is to refocus him altogether by finding a toy he really likes - but only take it out with you on walks. When you want him to get up, place the toy a small distance away so that he has to move in order to get it.
The most important part is to firstly get him checked over physically, because there might be a simple reason for all of this. And if it's a physical problem then once that is corrected, he will probably change and if not, then using an animal behaviour specialist or watching some Cesar Millan will give you different strategies to work with. Another option is to find a good animal communicator to tune into any issues that don't seem apparent.
Try not to worry too much (I know this is difficult because I sense you have grown really fond of him) - because he will be picking this up and it may trigger fear in him. Dogs don't pick up specific issues, they pick up emotions - so the more you can relax the better.
Just tell yourself that there is a solution to every problem and that you will figure this out. And you will.
As to the vet you pointed out in the other post, he does sound well qualified. Animals do respond very well to chiro and accupunture.
I know the financial part is a concern, however, if you get him well at this stage (and you are already feeding him so well!), then you will find that you will limit costs for the future and be making a serious investment in a loving and joyful future with your fur angel.
The amount of love (and I assure you it will grow more and more) you will receive and experience over the years to come will be worth every $ spent. It's not every day that someone gets to experience unconditional love - unless you have a dog that is!
Keep me posted Susan, and if there's anything else I or others can help you with, be sure to post on this forum. Curezone has a wonderful community of animal lovers and we are all happy to share with you what we know.

This is a reply to # 1,546,709Maya, thank you for your heartfelt message. Somehow I didn't see your post earlier. I do think, in fact I'm sure now, taht he sits down, because he doesn't want to come home. I take him on different routes, but can enter my court from only one direction so he either sits on the middle of the road or on nature strip, two or three houses away. He is still limping, but not as badly since I was able to get help here and supplement him. First chance I get, I do want to find out what is wrong with him, but not from a conventional vet, and this Dr I"ve posted he is a vet but also an animal chiro, guess, he'd be called holistic vet. On further research, I"ve found out he is very involved with dresage horses, has his own, works for few horse clubs and has written a few books, essays about animal chiro.
It is true. Not because he is my dog, but Gee is so intelligent, quick learner. Only thing, I don't know if it's good for him to be so emionally attached to us, mainly myself. We got him as fully trained, so we got the easier end of the yard. I would have never believed how much of pleasure and love a dog can give.
Two more things I seem to have differing opinion about.
1. Giving him raw meat with bone every day, is that too much? Should dogs have a bone a day?
2. Should dogs be given offal? (Kidney, heart, giblets) I've been givging it to him, once a week, someone told me to stop immediately.
What are your opinions.
Thanks to everyone for their help and advice, very much apreciated.
(He loves EFT, very relaxed, I can tap on him, giving me a look like what's wrong with you, than nearly falling asleep. It just doesn't seem to work, maybe not yet.

Only thing, I don't know if it's good for him to be so emionally attached to us, mainly myself.
I would see this as a very positive thing. Dogs are pack animals and they do seek either to be the pack leader or to be the follower. It seems he is recognising you as the pack leader, so you have done really well! And dogs are emotional creatures and do form deep attachments to their carers.
If what you mean is that he is insecure and over attached (as in very worried when you are out of sight) then this may just be a temporary thing and you could use Bach flower remedies to settle him emotionally or something herbal to treat any separation anxiety. Valerian is helpful in this case.
Two more things I seem to have differing opinion about.
1. Giving him raw meat with bone every day, is that too much? Should dogs have a bone a day?Mine have bones every day. I give them (cut up in to smaller chunks since they are small dogs) raw chicken thighs, chicken wings, wild rabbit, lamb chops etc. So, I leave the bone in all these. I will also occasionally give them a large marrow bone .. and they like burying these.
2. Should dogs be given offal? (Kidney, heart, giblets) I've been givging it to him, once a week, someone told me to stop immediately.
What are your opinions.Most definitely! I give them offal at least twice a week - probably around 25% of their food is offal. Mine particularly like chicken liver and ox heart. But all offal, including tripe is good food for canines.
Something else you can feed your dog is raw eggs (mine have got lazy and now won't eat the shell) and raw salmon (great for their coats, brain health and joints)
He loves EFT, very relaxed, I can tap on him, giving me a look like what's wrong with you, than nearly falling asleep. It just doesn't seem to work, maybe not yet.If he's falling asleep - it's working. Sleeping, sighing, yawning ... they are all signs of releasing stress.
Normally practitioners of EFT would tap themselves, not the dog. You can tap yourself as a surrogate. It's all energy, it will be transferred.Happy New Year Susan!

This is a reply to # 1,547,815Thank you Maya for taking time to answer my questions with so much details.
He loves offal, but will not eat chicken neck, wings. Eats giblets, liver, kidney. I've tried raw kangaroo meat, he womited, but not when its cooked. Not much like with vegies. I give him raw eggs with sardines or tuna twice a week. again, someone said not to give the whites as dogs can't digest it. (?)
He is never alone, someone is always home, he always sees someone. He knows when I am leaving, gives a little bark, watches till he can't see me, also when I come home, if I don't greet him immediately, he's anxious to let me know he is here too. Honestly, if dogs could only talk.
Luella posted an interview by a Hungarian Professor re dogs cignitive abilities, emotions. he says, dogs understand objects' names. That is true. He gets his bones when I tell him so, looks for his chicken toy, eats and drink when I tell him to. First family tought I am crazy, not possible. He even understands family menbers name. If I tell him, where's Michael, Dion, etc, he looks for that person.
Gee used to dig, twice, three times a wek, but has stopped now. (Hope for good!) Never hides his bone though. He's naughtiness is he loves eating, breaking my plants outside. Especially the jade trees. I think, maybe because it is full of water. (?) Actually, what I"ve noticed, he eats the plants when they are in his way. Low enough, or hanging in his face. Only the jade tree he goes to, and purposefully breaks branches off.
I am braggins, I know, but I find all this so incredible, I marvel at this every day. They are like dis, loves to be brushed, sitting so pretty, patiently, licks my hand, almost as to say "thank you".
Happy New Year to you Maya and yours.
You deserve all the happiness, great things in your life. You are helping so many people, so selflessly.

Something else that works exceptionally well for joints is colloidal silver. Just put some in his waterbowl daily. Although he seems too young to have hip displaysia, colloidal silver will correct this condition.
However, to rule out more serious conditions, it might be advisable to find a holistic vet who will treat him with the proper supplements and nutrition.
Speaking of nutrition, what are you feeding him? A raw diet is what is best for all our furkids. Sometimes, just switching them to a raw diet alleviates many health problems.
Good luck to you.

Must confess, haven't considered or thought of Colloidal Silver . Have to see, if I can buy it here. He is such a gentle giant, at 54kg's (120lbs) and still growing. I just want him to get better, not to suffer with pain, discomfort. Again, thank you.

This is a reply to # 1,546,228I am so overwhelmed with so many people offering so many good advice, forgot to say that he is not eating commercial dog food. I cook for him, "human food", without all the spices. Now, he is on about only 40% raw, will crank this up. I've never had a dog or a any kind of pet before, reading all info here, wanting to do the right thing, as he is such a good natured rotti. What has stopped me from complete raw food, as I've heard a saying if you feed a dog all raw, they'll turn vicious. I live on 90% raw for year, I am not vicious LOL!! Of course, I realise now, it is non-sense, most likely just a saying.
Thanks again.

Hi Susan.
For never having had a dog before, you are a wonderful furmom, and you have come to the right place for advice. Deciding to slowly transition him to raw is an excellent idea. This is where they get their optimum nourishment. Don't forget to include uncooked bones. Feeding raw is what assures a healthy pet and prevents tooth decay down the line. In many instances, raw feeding will reverse adverse health conditions. And no, raw feeding will not make him vicious at all. That must be some sort of wive's tale. And, frankly, I have never heard of it before.
I have read a bit of this thread and you are receiving excellent advice. It would be best to find a holistic vet for a diagnosis who would guide you in his healing naturally. There could be different causes for his actions and it is important that you get to the source of the problem and then move forward.
I wish you my very best, and please do keep us posted.
Many hugs,
Luella

This is a reply to # 1,546,734Thanks Luella for your great advice and your best wishes.
Yes, it is a "hungarian wives' tale" dog will get vicious from raw meat. I've also learnt he's supposed to get bone only once a week. Of course, you have put this right. I was worried, because I give him every day, meaty lamb on some bones.
Regarding your reply to Megan, I've heard from a shelter worker, dogs aren't allowed to eat broccoli or cauliflower. True? Supposed to be bloating. True or not, mine painstakingly picks cauliflower out, puts it on the side. In fact, he's not so keen on any vegies yet, can't hide it in his food. yes, we are going to a holistic vet.
I do thrive to be a great furmom, and I am learning so much here, but still so many questions, different info on Net. Love the word "furmom", never heard it here in oz before LOL!
So much to learn here in Curezone!
Thanks again, do enjoy your and Tony's informative posts.

Hi Susan,
Although there are some people that feed their dogs broccoli and cauliflower with no problem, some dogs become ill. Bones are good for dogs on a daily basis. This is what they are used to in their natural habitat.
Curezone is a wonderful community to find healing. I know that it has helped me immensely. And....... I am so glad you enjoy Tony and my posts. We do our best to point the way to healing, not only for humans but for our beloved furkids.

This is a reply to # 1,546,201I know you don't want huge fees, but you should take him to a holistic vet and get it diagnosed. Then you can be sure you are using the right thing when you treat him, and not waste time (and money) on stuff you don't need - not that the suggestions you got were not good, but he is young and so this can't be brushed off as old age.

This is a reply to # 1,546,229"it could be he grew too fast", this is what some people tell me with experience. I am taking him to an animal chirocraptor, and if I am to believe what I am told, it is cheaper than conventional vet. He is not overweight by looking at him, but, yes, he did grow quickly, while with us.

This is a reply to # 1,546,668A chiro is fine as long as you find one that is competent to work with nutrition...for if that is the problem, and I bet it is, he needs nutritional help more then he needs adjustments.
I don't have any experience with big dogs (mine never make it over 15 pounds) but my fear is that while he may get over it on his own, depending on the intensity of the problem, it is important to get him over this bump in the road with the proper nutritional supplements so his bones develop normally in order to prevent the problem from esculating or popping up later as something worse, such as hip displasia (spelling?...tsk).
I applaud where you are taking him, but keep in mind that it would be wise to get acquainted with a good vet. Preferrably a holistic one, but if not you can use a mainstream one for diagnosis and then bring that to a place like curezone for holistic help. They always soak you for the first visit ($100 or more) but so do most Chiros. After that it is cheaper. My vet exams run $45-50 (just the exam - treatment, meds and diagnositc tests, if any, is extra, gulp....). My chiro back in California ran the same ($50 - and he came to my house becuase he also worked on horses so he made house calls)...but the chiro who works through my vet here in Maryland is $100 a "pop"...yikes!
I would imagine that in your current case a vet would do a thorough hands on exam, watch your puppy walk and probably want an x-ray...which ususally can be done without sedation. An x-ray might not be a bad idea. - Re: Dog is limping Iolite

Your Rottie is still a pup, right? What kind of mineral supplements is he getting? The reason I'm bringing this up is when I was a teen, about 13 or 14, my legs would hurt at night. It wasn't because of sports or exercising. I think it was "growing pains". I started taking dolomite tablets, natural source of calcium and magnesium (we didn't have chelated minerals in the '70's) and the pain in my legs went away. If I forgot to take the dolomite, my legs started hurting again. They never gave me any problems during the day, only at night when I went to bed.
Maybe a good multi-mineral ascorbate powder would be good.

This is a reply to # 1,547,443Hi lolite,
Yes, he is still a pup, a baby elephant, he is 10 months old.
Yes, I remember those "growing pains" at night, in legs. All I was given for them a panadol occassionally, otherwise grinned and bore it.
Gee didn't get any supplement until several days ago. Only "good things" he might have had was what was in his food. I have been giving him every couple of days aspirin, according to his weight, but I'm not sure if I should continue. For six days now I give him fish oil, joint formulas and started yesterday on cod oil, according to Maya's advice. He seems a bit better. I was really beside myself, as he would sit down on middle of road, or on nature strip, looking happy but not wanting to move. These rotties are smart cookies! As of yesterday he's proved it to me for sure, that he sits down on the way back to home. He doesn't want to come home! LOL! I walk him in different directions, but there's only one way into court. He is still limping, but not as badly as before and not only at night. thanks for the link, I will look if I can find a supplement with same composition here. Monday I'll be able to make appointment with cnin-chiro. I really want to know what is wrong with him, if something. I have been so worried during this holiday season. Thanks for your advice and reply again.
Susan
