My bulldog is only a baby (11 mos) and has developed a limp in the past month or so. It started slight and occasional and has progressively gotten much worse. Luckily, she does not appear in pain. It is so bad now that I cannot walk her except to let her go to the bathroom. My vet cannot know for sure, but thinks it may be her nervous system. We are trying to factor out other options such as growing pains, injury, and bone problems for now with rest and doggy anti-inflamatory medication. If she doesn't improve we could be looking at disk problems in her neck which would call for extensive back surgery. She is so young and loves to play so I feel awful that we have to keep her sedentary, or worse that she may need to stay sedentary for the rest of her life. Has anyone had any experience in this area? If she needs surgery, can we guarantee that will help? We are so worried.
