The dog is a 2 1/2 year old romanian rescue. Conscious examination is out of the question. The owner reports he does this regularly after lying down. He does iten-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/237101?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 05 May 2022 19:50:46 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:1fa42812-95b1-40da-aa17-bcc5894ee244Claire Godfrey<p>Thank you all. Will discuss with owner, appears to be worth investigating further.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/237099?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 05 May 2022 15:06:47 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:882dc859-579a-4cb0-b747-eb336bebfb72Sarah Keir<p>The dog was ungainly getting off the sofa and it looked like the left hind foot dragged. I think more videos are needed and they need to be without the owner intervention.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/237092?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 04 May 2022 20:52:56 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:b4ac836b-3be7-4183-a324-24bfee011294Miriam Lodewyks<p>Mmmm, it could be an appeasement behaviour, especially given the trigger being a request from the owner and how he seems to grin with it&hellip;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/237077?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 01 May 2022 20:47:19 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:70768799-ba8b-4b65-9c00-872d4000011fJill Butterworth<p>It does look like bilateral forelimb discomfort to me. It would be rare (but not impossible I suppose) for a dog to have learned to get a sympathy response from the owner by holding up its paws in this manner. It&#39;s worth starting at the bottom of the leg and working your way up, have a really good look at the pads/feet/carpi and radiograph them too, just in case there is a clue there. I would occasionally also do flexion tests, just like a horse, to diagnose the seat of lameness in a difficult case. Good luck.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
