Forgive me guys for grasping at straws here. Waiting to take him to the vet is driving me a little nuts wondering what the heck is wrong with my poor boy. His limp is now worse and he is holding his paw off the ground now or to the side all the time. I wrote this in another post that I felt both shoulders today to compare them and there is an obvious differnce in his hurt leg. It's almost as though the top of the joint protrudes out at the top and is pokey. He was sitting and I was in front of him feeling both shoulders from the top sides. I have no idea what would cause that unless something it maybe out of place. I was trying to look up on the internet anything I could find to try to match up what I'm seeing and feeling with a particular problem. I know, what's the point- but I'm famous for reading a little too much about things like this.
Again, sorry if I'm making anybody crazy with all my questions and wondering. Just sucks that my hands are tied and I can't help my sweet Yukon.

I hope that someone here can tell you something about a dislocated shoulder. I haven't had any experience with one (thank God), but there are other things that can cause that kind of swelling, too. I know it seems like forever until Monday! Is there any way to get him in to the vet tomorrow, so that he can get some pain meds or something to give him some comfort in the meantime? I'm so sorry that you & Yukon are going through this.

Oh poor Yukon! Poor you! I know you're worried sick.
There is a group called Orthodogs. A support group. Lots of info from and for people. I think you can just google it.
Everything seems to happen on weekends. Would your Vet be willing to see Yukon tomorrow? Or maybe he could tell if it's OK to give him an Ascriptin? (sp) Walmart has a generic.
Hope someone else is on tonight who has some experience with this.
HUGS to Yukon!

Well this has been going on for almost 2 weeks now.. and we were under the impression it was a sprain and coming from his leg- now it seems that's not the case at all. The vets I talked to a few days ago told us to wait it out a little longer too..but like I said now it's worse. I'm not sure about the vet since he's never been there, we've been looking for a new one and this will be the first they've seen of him. Hubby also won't be able to help me out tomorrow since he works all day. So here I am going driving myself crazy, but what else is new.
At least he just rests all the time, lays down mostly. I'm letting them outside seperately now so they won't play and he will just get his business done and come back in and lay down. Well I broke down and gave him some Bufferin last night, I willl give another does in about an hour. It hasn't seemed to help any yet, but maybe the 2nd dose will help. I was hoping to offer him some kind of relief since I feel helpless and it's very hard to watch him.
