Hello, sorry to hear about Lucky. This can be caused by several things. Arthritis, ACL tear, patellar luxation, and neurologic diseases. If the problem persists she should be assessed to determine the source of her limping. Some of these conditions can be treated with rest, others may need medications, and some may require surgical correction. If you think she is in pain or in severe discomfort then have her evaluated soon. Hope this helps and best of luck

If this is a hind leg I would be worried about the ligament in the knee having a problem. It could also be arthritis at her age. I suggest you take her to your vet for an exam. They can probably tell you better what is wrong after examining her and they can give you some medications to make her feel better.
