Hi all. This is my first post on this board. I have a 4.5yr old female collie (tri-color). She's acting very strange the last few days. She won't go in or out of her dog door (from the screened pool area to the backyard), and she won't go through the sliding glass door threshold from outside to inside. I have to put her leash on to get her to come inside.
When I came home from work today, she seemed very warm, and the house was as 73F. She is eating and drinking just fine, but acting VERY strangly, and I'm worried, but can't seem to find anything OBVIOUSLY wrong with her. Other than very warm.
This past weekend, she was limping, then that stopped. I checked her for a thorn or grass spur - but there was nothing. Her pads seem fine. She loves to play frisbee, but stopped suddenly and favored her rear left leg. Next day, played again, then she favored the leg/foot again. I'm looking for help from anyone... She's a great dog and loves people and loves to play. She's very affectionate and I'm really sad that she's not feeling well.
Hope someone has some suggestions.
Paul and Sadie
