Question
my 4 year old schipperke surprised me when she had 5 puppies since when i adopted her they said she was fixed. its been one month and she has seemed to stop using her front left leg ive checked over and over and there's nothing in there. I just don't know what to think of it or if I should freak out.

Answer
See what your vet says.  I hope she will be able to jump again.  

Unfortunately too often the help at the shelters is poorly paid, poorly trained, and overworked.  I do all I can here to encourage people like you that are part of the solution and discourage those part of the problem.  

If you still have the puppies, you might find some help giving them the right care at http://www.woodhavenlabs.com/articles.html#breeding
