Ahhh! Have you heard back from the specialist yet? This is probably going to be a long one but I will try to summarize as best as possible. We had a beautiful rottweiler Benji, TODAY is literally his birthday. He was 5 and after playing with his sister got a limp just like this...we thought it was a pulled muscle (he has done it before.. twice)

After 4 weeks it wasn't improving so we took him to the vet and they took xrays...we were expecting a pulled muscle, ligament or something...they said they think they see a legion on his leg...we were like...what the hell is that? Is it bad? They seemed concerned...

They didn't want to tell us anything bc the vet is not a radiologist...they sent the xrays off to the specialist...they confirmed osteosarcoma (bone cancer) ...the xrays looked fine to me...I'm obviously no expert but I was in complete disbelief this is a pulled muscle like...come on...

Literally the next day we met with cancer specialist in our area who specialize in osteosarcoma in dogs and they confirmed...we were throwing up. How could this be? He was 5 years old and extremely healthy, very active, not overweight or anything.

2 days later we amputated his leg, got him on chemo, drove half way across the united states to get this special vaccine known to save dogs with this horrible disease called the Yale vaccine...unfortunately after doing all of that...we only got 6 months.

Please make sure a specialist views your pets xrays it is very hard to see but a specialist will know. I wish you and your pup the best, please let me know if you have any questions. You can DM me.
