Hello. This is definitely something to worry about because what you are describing is muscle atrophy probably due to the pain from her laminitis. I hope you are doing everything possible to keep her comfortable & out of pain, but if not, please call your vet out to discuss the right thing to do to keep Millie pain free. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
