Baxter Post Surgery Hind Leg Weakness

So 4yo Baxter has had 2 surgeries within 2 months searching for a grass seed in his front paw. Success in removing it the second time around. Now 2 days post surgery, we have noticed a distinct weakness in his hind leg and has no apparent tenderness. Back to vet tomorrow morning to find out what is going on with my boy who has definitely been in the wars! :wag:

What is a grass seed? Maybe he is limping a bit because he is still sore from the surgery? Don't know if you have it there but Dermanex ( spelling) is what I give when my dog is limping...and we supplement with some Glycoflex. Hope he feels better soon.
Bennett lucked out - our vet was able to find it and remove under a local. But he did develope an allergy to grass, not fair to a dog.

Good luck at the vets. Finger's crossed that it has something to do with the way he was positioned for surgery and it clears up on its own.
So it appears as though Bax has put his hip out - possibly while he stressed a little after he came out of the anesthetic. No apparent cause during his examination which is a relief. More anti inflammatory tabs and try to keep him quiet! No mean feat let me tell you. Back to the vet on Monday though just for a quick check. Phew :wag: :tree: thanks for the best wishes. Oh and a grass seed is actually dried spear grass that are vicious and very painful things when picked up by pets and generally requires some sort of surgical procedure to remove them!
