Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I am glad your Vet is involved. The limping is odd with the gastro-intestinal signs. In one dog I would think it is just random, but in 2 that is strange. It could be an immune issue like lupus or an immune polyarthropathy. If the Gi signs were from something infections (viral, fungal) that could possibly involve the bones or joints. I agree with the fecal. If the limping doesn't resolve I would do blood work on both dogs and X-ray the affected limb. It sounds like Kia should be seen again first. I wish you all the best!
