I have a 3 year old lab, she has elbow dysplasia but luckily not showing any symptoms at the moment. To cut a long story short she's been in and out of our own vets/emergency vets over the last couple of days and they are 99.9% sure she has bilateral cruciate rupture in both back legs. The vet is doing some more xrays today to confirm (already ruled out back/hip problems) and if it is the case she will be referred to an orthapaedic vet. She can't be managed medically and I've got to think about the impact of surgery especially with the front leg problems. I know it hasn't been confirmed yet but I need to think about what needs to happen if it is.
Up until Tuesday evening she was her happy normal self, no showing any symptoms at all but within half hour of me picking her up she was obviously in pain hence the vet visits.
