This message is from: jern...@mosquitonet.com My old Bjarne, now 34, had on and off lameness when he was 12...the vet couldn't pin point it, but it turned out it was a long standing staph infection in his shoulder from an old injury that would flare up. If finally culminated in an abcess in his "arm pit". Surgery and antibiotics finally got rid of it and he wasn't lame after that (until the last few years with arthritis in his old age).
