# Well I was going to go on a nice hike with Kona today, but... It appears he is limping now, it just started today. He is also holding it [his left] leg] up and not putting weight on it. He has done this in the past and we have taken him in and found no issue. So, we will watch it for 2 days and see if he improves, if not we will be off to the vet for xrays ag… ## Thread In Kai Ken · started by brada1878 · 43 replies - **Category:** [Kai Ken](https://nihonken.org/community/c/kai-ken) - **Forum:** [Nihon Ken Forum](https://nihonken.org/community/) ## brada1878 (admin) · 2009-02-22T13:46:19.000Z It appears he is limping now, it just started today.

I hope he didn't tear his rotator cuff too. :o( ---- ## Sangmort (moderator) · 2009-02-22T14:02:18.000Z Poor babe! Hope he feels better! ~ ## Calia · 2009-02-22T14:16:40.000Z Oh, I hope it's nothing serious...Hugs for Kona ## JessicaRabbit (admin) · 2009-02-22T14:26:38.000Z His front left leg or back? Hopefully it is just a strain. And it will clear itself up with a bit of rest. ## _dlroberts · 2009-02-22T14:40:01.000Z Oh man. I'm so sorry to hear that. What is it about Taos that is so rough on the dogs? Get well soon Kona! ## sunyata · 2009-02-22T18:35:02.000Z Yikes, hopefully he is just being a drama queen and it is nothing serious. Either way, I hope he is feeling better soon! ## Leonberger (admin) · 2009-02-22T19:47:59.000Z Sorry to hear about Kona, poor guy! Is it possible that he stepped on something like a small piece of rock? Or he got hurt rough housing with Loa or Fuji? I hope he feels better soon. ## brada1878 (admin) · 2009-02-23T01:00:19.000Z It is his front right leg. It's not swollen or anything, but he still doesn't want to put a lot of weight on it. This is why I am concerned it may be his rotator cuff as that is how it showed in Ahi. If that is the case, and I where to guess, I would guess he probably slipped on some ice while playing with Loa. Hopefully he will be better tomorrow, we have kept him pretty inactive today. ---- ## brada1878 (admin) · 2009-02-23T01:00:55.000Z Thanx all, btw. :o) ## hondru (moderator) · 2009-02-23T03:51:14.000Z Poor Kona. Hopefully it's nothing. ## lingmorton · 2009-02-23T05:48:16.000Z hope kona gets better soon! & hopefully its nothing serious ## okiron · 2009-02-23T11:39:04.000Z Kona get better! ## Saya · 2009-02-23T11:52:42.000Z I hope Kona feels better soon. =) ## KFontaine04 · 2009-02-23T12:25:29.000Z Best wishes to Kona! Hope he is on the mend. ## sunyata · 2009-02-23T13:55:53.000Z So how is Mr. Kona doing today? ## asia · 2009-02-23T14:48:08.000Z Bummer!! Hopefully it's nothing big. Second Casey's question - any news today? ## brada1878 (admin) · 2009-02-23T16:44:01.000Z Kona is still limping today, nothing has changed. I guess we will be getting him into the vet soon. ## ljowen123 (moderator) · 2009-02-23T16:51:44.000Z Hate to hear that - hopefully it's nothing major. ## sujewel · 2009-02-23T17:04:50.000Z Awe, poor baby. ## KFontaine04 · 2009-02-23T17:05:51.000Z Best of luck to Kona. Hopefully he just pulled a muscle and will be Ship Shape soon. ## Darwin67 · 2009-02-23T17:14:04.000Z I hope Kona gets to feeling better...I know you'll keep us posted! ## sunyata · 2009-02-23T18:22:42.000Z Poor Kona. I hope it is nothing major, just a strained muscle or something simple like that. Best wishes for Kona. ## lindsayt · 2009-02-23T21:10:01.000Z Hope it's just a minor injury. Get better Kona! ## Kirbysmom · 2009-02-24T01:00:32.000Z Pooor baby!!! I hope it is nothing serious. ## Harlow · 2009-02-24T13:00:58.000Z Poor guy. We're hoping it's a sprain or something like that. ## brada1878 (admin) · 2009-02-24T15:31:35.000Z Kona is not limping today. So hopefully he had just bruised himself or something. I'll keep everyone posted. ---- ## sunyata · 2009-02-24T16:01:49.000Z Glad that he is not limping! Hopefully it was just a strain and he is back to normal. Silly boy, I bet he missed out on a great hike Sunday. :) ## TeamLaika · 2009-02-24T16:02:45.000Z Thank goodness. It's about time you caught a break! ## okiron · 2009-02-24T16:45:57.000Z Glad he's alright :D ## brada1878 (admin) · 2009-02-27T12:50:34.000Z Well, Kona started limping again yesterday and so he is at the vet getting xrayed. Hopefully nothing is too messed up. ---- --- **Navigate:** [Forum home](https://nihonken.org/community/?format=md) · [Sitemap](https://nihonken.org/community/sitemap.xml)
