Limping in dogs
Limping or lameness in dogs is a common sign of pain and is never normal. It may be caused by a variety of reasons, some more serious than others.
Dogs are active creatures and can be susceptible to a wide range of injuries. Limping may be due to muscle and ligament strain, arthritis, spine problems, trauma, broken bones, paw problems and more. In all cases of lameness, limit activity until you can speak with a vet.
