Worried

The boys are not in their crate a lot, but the last few times we have come home and let the boys out of the crate, Henry has been favoring his right leg.  He is not completely limping and he is not holding up his leg, but when he walks he is not putting very much weight on his right leg.

This is very worrisome for us because Henry has hip dysplasia and has already had surgery on his left knee for luxating patella caused by extra stress put on his knee due to his hip condition.  Now we feel that his right knee may be experiencing the same difficulties as his left knee had been before he had knee surgery.

We are going to keep a close eye on this and take him into the vet to get an official diagnosis.  In the meantime, we are going to hope for the best.
