Hi and welcome to you and Rollie. I'm afraid I can't offer advice but want you to know you've come to the right place. There is a wealth of knowledgable caring folks here who will be by shortly to welcome you and give advice. Sometimes the weekends are slow, hang in there, you are not alone. I am sorry your baby is having so much trouble.

Welcome from me also. Hopefully some of the experts will be around soon to offer up some useful information and help you figure out what is going on with your lab. Be prepared to answer a lot of questions. They will need quite a bit of information on your furbaby to get a clear picture of what you are dealing with and his medical status. In the meantime, if you have copies of any of his lab work or testing, please gather that information together. Other than the leg weakness is he having any other problems? Is he eating normally? Any vomiting or diarrhea? How much does he weigh and what dosage Vetoryl is he on?

I look forward to getting to know you and your baby. :)

Welcome nice to meet you, I just wanted to say hi.

Welcome from me, too, and I am so sorry your dog is not well. Can you tell us more about what is going on? From your post, I'm afraid I'm not sure whether you are wanting help with questions about Cushing's or instead about the leg injuries. It will be great if you will help us by giving some more information as to the problem/s.

Thanks in advance!

Hi and welcome,

Your post is difficult to understand (no punctuation, all run together, shorthand usage) but if you can tell us more about what is going on we will try to help. If your dog's leg is swelling and you don't know why, take him to the vet asap.

What does "...Cushing on vetoryl for a year abs fell..." mean? What are "abs"? Has your dog been taking Vetoryl for a year? If so how much does he weigh and how much med is he getting and how often (1 or 2 X a day)?

Look forward to more info very soon.
Hugs,
Leslie and the gang

If you have concerns about an injury to your dog, or there is a sudden swelling, please see your vet as soon as possible.

I absolutely agree with Renee, any time you have an injury, fall, the best thing to do is see a vet for an evaluation of the severity.

Let us know how it goes!

How is your baby? Did he see the vet?
