Q&A: Poodle Problems? (experienced answeres please!)?
Question by `·.¸×°×Comadrejaװ׸.·´: Poodle Problems? (experienced answeres please!)?
I sleep with my mom’s poodle/cockerspanial/terrier mix and lately around 2 in the morning ive woken up to her crying, screaming if u will. It seems her back two leg muscles and her stomach muscles are spasoming and i spoke with a dog fanatic who already told me it may be because she’s there all night without water but i’ve been making sure she has water all the time and offered her water right after one of these attacks, she wanted nothing to do with it. All she wants to do during these attacks is lick my face and yelp. Im very worried she may have Legg-Calve’-Perthes or Hip Dysplasia or something terrible. Please tell me what you think is wrong with her? we’ve had her two years (shes about 2 and a half or three) and never noticed anything till about a week ago. Its not every night just every once in a while. Also she cant really move from whatever position she is in when she gets one of these attacks. Please help! This is a very beloved dog!
Im not a bad person. She was my mothers birthday gift and my mother will worry herself sick i was hoping someone could tell me if it is serious or not so i dont have to worry my mother

Let’s take a look at the problem….
“ive woken up to her crying, screaming”
“her back two leg muscles and her stomach muscles are spasoming”
“Im very worried she may have Legg-Calve’-Perthes or Hip Dysplasia or something terrible.”
“Also she cant really move from whatever position she is in when she gets one of these attacks”
PLEASE..get your “beloved dog” some medical attention.
You can sit there and read what we all -guess- is wrong with her, but nothing beats the help of a professional.
It may be something big or small, but won’t it be a relief to finally KNOW what the issue is?

If she is in pain, take her to the vet. Many poodles do have hip/joint problems. Your poodle sounds like she is in pain. Take her to the vet.
Assuming your mother knows about this problem, talk to her and ask her when you two are going to take her to the vet. She really needs to go. As a previous poster put, people here can only guess. I grew up with a poodle but I never saw that problem.
She needs to see a vet for a certain diagnoses, but it sound like luxating(sp?) patella. That is were the knee cap is loose and moves around, it is painful and can cause her to not be able to move her leg. It is very common in toy and small breeds. Please have your vet look at her. He can tell you if this is the problem, and what things you can do to help her. Please understand, this is a GUESS, no one can tell you for sure unless they see the dog!
All of the experienced answerers are going to tell you the same thing. Take her to the vet immediately. I don’t understand why you haven’t done this already. If this happened to me it would require a middle of the night, emergency animal clinic, visit. Please talk to your vet and find out for sure what is really going on here.
