I recently posted on my other Golden Baylee that is currently undergoing acupuncture and physical therapy for a back problem.
Well now my dear, sweet rescue Beau is unable to put weight on his rear leg. He tripped coming up the steps and has been unable to use the leg since then. This is a real difficulty for Beau, who is 9 years old and already had an unsteady gait on both legs due to a history of having femoral head osteotomies on both hips. This means at this point he can only manage a few steps before his "good" rear leg collapses. I am going to call the vet when they first open in the early AM to get him in but am very concerned that this will not be simple problem.
Please keep him in your thoughts. He is the sweetest Golden boy you would ever want to meet. It seems my household is quickly becoming a medical unit.

Any thoughts as to what could have happened to the leg from a simple trip up the steps?

Thanks ahead of time...

Beau has been through so much between his hip surgeries and operations for cancerous tumors. I am hoping this is just a small bump in the road. Here is a photo of my Golden gang. Beau is the red guy on the right, Baylee is in the middle and my youngster, Baxter is on the left.

I dont have any idea but pray it is something minor. Love his face and of course his name, please give him a big hug and kiss.

I was able to get a 10 AM appt for Beau. He is struggling terribly to get around and I am having to lift his rear up the steps. His weak hips are making this so difficult for him, and walking on 3 legs is not an easy task.
I am so worried....
