Zuzu got hurt...at the PT's office 2 weeks ago. Happened when they were moving her from one side to the other on the massage/treatment table. She clearly didn't like the handling, then was barely able to walk after.
Rested a couple of days, seemed a bit better, but when we started walking again, she was off again. Saw the PT again last week and she insists that her patella is in place so it's not a case of "broken surgery" - but I'm stumped.
Here's a pic of her leg. It moves freely to the rear from the hock joint, but really resists and is painful trying to move it to the front.
Her knee is huge, as you can see from the pic.
Thoughts as to what this might be? I'm loathe to visit a vet if rest is all she needs...I just can't afford a $200 appt where they just tell me to give her Tramadol (which I have) and rest....
