Christine,
Your puppy sounds overweight for one. Back off on the food for a couple of
weeks & also restrict her activities (especially running with others, this is
a no-no when they're pups). Also put her on 1 aspirin (coated with maalox)
twice a day. Again, restrict exercise, as the lack of pain from the effects
of the aspirin may mask injury if there "is" some serious damage. Hold off
buying MSM or other compounds, no sense spending cash if you don't have to.
If this is successful slow her down on her diet, too often they're pushed too
hard protein-wise when they're puppies.
