Not really baby related at all but you guys are such a wealth of information I am hoping someone might be able to help.

We have been trying to figure out what is going on with our dog, starting about 10 days ago he started limping but the side kept changing, then it graduated to both hind legs but it isn't always, sometimes he seems fine or at least much better. We have taken him to the vet who did x-rays etc and prescribed pain medication (which helped immensely) and decided it must be a muscle or ligament issue and just wait it out. In the mean time the poor little guy (he is a 40 pound mix of border collie and ???) is having a hard time jumping into bed, he has fallen down the stairs (only the first three) and is just not quite himself.

So-- I googled lyme disease in dogs last night and it seems like it could be a match but it sort of looks like if it got to this point there isn't much they can do. Does anyone have any experience with this? We will take him in again today but I am really worried!

Thanks!
