游完泳後的左腳

[milo麻]

李醫師您好,
我家milo四月份有過去照x光,您說牠是輕微的chd,沒有鬆弛,使用保守療法既可,因此我上星期帶他去游泳,想讓他增強肌肉的強度,但因為泳池邊很滑,milo又是第一次游,可能比較興奮,因此他摔跤了好幾次,結果回家後覺得他腳走路沒力沒力的,隔天早上起來有比較好,但是前幾天因他耳朵的黴菌問題去看醫生,醫生看他左後腳走路時會先往旁邊繞個圓弧再行走,而不是腳往前抬起來走,而且有時散步會停下來,今天趁他四腳朝天睡覺時,將他左後腳試著拉直,他會縮回去不讓我拉,但是右腳就可以輕鬆拉直而不會縮回,不過右腳走路偶爾也會往旁邊繞圓弧,不知道兩隻是不是又因為摔跤受傷?
在照x光那時他的右後腳有運動過度造成運動傷害,您說讓他休息幾天不要散步,除了上廁所之外,我按照了您的辦法,發現他右後腳好了許多,怎知右腳好多了...左腳又... 本來想讓他和上次一樣休息幾天暫時不要散步,但那醫生和我說散步沒關係,不要讓他跑跳就好,所以想問問李醫師的建議,我是否該讓milo休息幾天暫時不散步?先觀察幾天,還是有其他方法可以讓他左腳恢復..milo現在吃cosequin 一天一顆,是否要增加?(milo現在6個月大,20公斤,本來21公斤李醫師要求我讓他減重並且未來2-3個月只能胖一公斤,我有很努力朝此方向喔)...
李醫師救救我阿!!! 超擔心milo的!!!!謝謝您!!

First I like you to complete rest Milo for a week with some pain control medicine(also will reduce inflammation). If the limping is still existing, I like you to take Milo for a thorough examination including x-ray to make sure there is no traumatic types damage. It is OK to increase the Cosequin to initial dose during this period. Swimming is the best exercise to enhance the muscle without applying pressure on the joint for CHD dogs but you have to be very careful to avoid traumatic types injury around swimming area. The floor is wet and sliding is very dangerous to CHD dogs(even normal dogs). Please be careful!
