Do you ever see your pet limping, but you're not sure which leg he or she is limping on? Well, that's where our doctors come in. Normally, we will have the pet walk or run down a long, straight hallway to get a feel for where the problem is. However, with Crinkles, a 6-year-old Pug/Chihuahua mix he was so low to the ground that Dr. Cadieu had to devise a new way of watching him walk in order. Her method? She took a slow-motion video in order to get a close up view to diagnose his limp.
After watching our video, can you tell which leg Crinkles is limping on? Hint: He throws his head up when placing the lame leg down (to try and take the weight off the hurt leg). So, what do you think? Let us know in the comments! (We'll give you the answer on Monday!)
