Miss Maisy went to visit the good doctor yesterday.
Maisy has allergies. She is allergic to many foods and also weeds, dust, mold, yeast, and many other things. She has to take steroids to keep her allergies under control. Steroids are bad, but a miserable, itchy dog covered in a rash and hot spots is worse.
Within the past several weeks we have noticed that Maisy's left hind leg twists out with each step. And she's lethargic, and she limps sometimes (not always on the left hind leg, sometimes it's the right one). Most concerning is the fact that she seems to be less sure-footed - we have seen her jump off the couch and do the splits on a few occasions.
Dr. K said her hip and knee joints feel stable, but after watching her walk he wrinkled his brow. Something ain't right, we just don't know what. So he's going to do some research and get back with us.
Time will tell!
