Hi there, fast growing puppies sometimes suffer from a condition called osteochondrosis dessican(OCD) in the joints which is where pieces of cartilage come away. It is painful and does affect different limbs, but will usually clear up by the time the dog is 2 years old.

i would try another vet! my friends dog has cancer of the bone and he limps on one leg then switches. but if the dog had an x-ray it should show. good luck

just because the bone structure doesn't show any problems doesn't mean your dog isn't having muscle spasms, or something along those lines, especially when she is in heat.

After the vet may I suggest if not doing already a good quality dog food, such as Nutro that has glucosimine and chondrotion to lubricate joints?

See another vet. She could have arthritis, which may not be seen on x-ray. A glucosamine-condroitin supplement may be helpful, found in health food and supplement stores, or online, and is used for people as well as safe for dogs.

If you're still asking questions you haven't gone to the right vet. You should have NO questions, only answers if you had. I found a holistic vet that helped me a lot. He is a friend of my normal vet & together they work really well together in solving health problems for 1 of my dogs. By the way, please have your dog spayed. There's no reason for her not to be.
