We noticed him favoring the leg over the weekend and figures he tweeked it climbing out of a snowbank. Monday he was still limping a bit so we took him in to the doc. He was so excited at the vet that he wasn't favoring the leg or anything while we were there.
We pointed out to the doc that his left 'knee cap' seemed much bigger than the right. She pulled, twisted, pinched, massaged and everything else and he did not react. She x-rayed the knee and saw nothing out of the oridnary there.
As soon as we get home from the vet he's limping again and we notice that the left leg is kind of spasming a little. Like if you a have a twitchy eye or something. It's not continuous but it happens every so often.
SU went back to the vet today and showed her video of the twitch and told he was still limping. She was going to do some research and get back to us.
At the moment it seems to bother us more than him, but I wish I knew what the heck is up. Do we wait and see? We really like our vet and trust them, but...
Here is a pic of each knee and a very short vid of the twitch.
The pics are blurry sorry. The vid you can hear his foot on the paper more than you can see it.
Any ideas or thoughts are welcome.
