We moved into a new place this last weekend and at the new place we have a deck, but there's no railing on it. The first night here (Sunday) Simi was going out to pee and fell off the edge of the deck, about a three foot drop. She kept going and didn't seem too off. Had a very slight limp Monday, and jumped off the side of the deck on purpose, and then Tuesday started limping a bit. Today she is only slightly putting weight on her front right leg. I have had my hands all over it, no heat I can feel, no swelling, doesn't pull back when I move it, extend it or bend it. But is limping and will hold it up when not moving.
I am going to give her a couple of days of limited exercise. Unfortunately she has to go up and down stairs to get in and out of the house, but I am limiting how fast she goes, etc.. And keeping her very calm.
Vibes she gets better quickly. We finally have a yard for her to play in and now as soon as she gets here, she hurts herself.. Always this stupid leg, too. But the vet hasn't been able to find anything to show why. She hurt it when she was a puppy out playing in the snow and has been lame in it probably 4 times since then (She will be three in September) but this is the worst it has been.
