Took Cali in for a early visit to the doc because she was having a bit of trouble getting up after laying down. She spent about a week with my Mother after one of her Doxy's had passed recently so her other pup would have a friend around and stated the limping right after she came home. We figured it was just a sore muscle or something along those lines because she just does not know how to be easy while playing! 
The doc did X-rays and found nothing wrong so he put her on a pain med and light duty for a few weeks to see how things pan out. Luckily things are doing good for her and there is really no limping to be seen after a few days but I brought up her leaky eye while we we there. It had only been bothering her for about a week at the time so I just kept it clean and kept a eye on it.. The doc said she has a developing problem called Distichiasis which is basically eyelashes growing on the inside of her eyelids into her eyes! He said the only thing to do for a pup who has this problem when it is irritating the eye is some type of surgery to correct it. He referred us to a specialist and Cali has an appointment in a few weeks to see what they think.. It is looking like its going to be around $1000 before all is said and done which is going to be a big hit but I could not even imagine something constantly poking me in the eye so money is no object I have to get the poor girl fixed up! Does anybody else have any experience with his condition? I am going to pick up some eye meds Monday to help keep her eye lubricant since its going to be a while before the eye doc can see us. Thanks for any insight!

Hopefully it will be mild enough to try some eye drops before surgery and see how that goes. I know she won't like having to do it every day, but at least it will give some comfort. It really doesn't seem like it bothers her now and I never would have thought anything otherwise except for the leaky eye. As far as her breeder goes, she was a rescue from a barn so she was a "accident" you can say and was given to us for free. Some help would be nice but its not going to come from there 
None of her brothers or sisters are showing any signs of it but I have warned the parents to keep a eye on them! Thanks for the kind words and Cali says thank you for the pets!
