Hello, I Have A Year Old Large Puppy And He Has Developed A Limp From…

Hello, I have a year old large puppy and he has developed a limp from one of his back legs. I have read everything online about different causes and I have done a thorough examination of his leg. There seems to be nothing out of place, no swelling and he continues to run and play (he sure doesn’t seem depressed) and he doesn’t show any signs of pain at all….what could be the problem? The only thing I can even relate to what’s happening is that it might be pano, but I want to confirm before we change his diet. There is also no sort of thorns, cracks, or cuts except a small cut in between the left side of his toes and it’s not worth taking him to the vet for a small cut about 3 cm.

    Hi Brittany,

    Pets, just like people, have different tolerance levels for pain.  The fact that he is limping indicates something is definitely not right.  How long has the limping been going on?  It is sometimes difficult to know if something is a small or a large problem without going to the vet.  Finding an answer is definitely worth it :).   I hope he gets better as I can tell you care about him very much!

    He’s only been limping for about 3 days, it seems like the limping has gotten a little better since the first day. He has broken his front toe before and was showing a lot of symptoms of pain (of course we took care of it) but that’s what I’ve been basing his pain tolerance on remembering how bad he was hurting before and he’s pretty much normal except for the limp.

    UPDATE: took him to the vet today, for the past couple days before our appointment we’ve had him on bed rest and that helped alot. The limping got less severe and it seemed like he could put more weight down on that leg. The vet had said it could be a partailly torn ligament in his knee from the exam. X-rays at the beginning of next month and he’s currently on some doggy pain killers and inflammation drugs and two weeks bed rest! But he’s walking on it even better with the drugs even after one dose.

    Hello Chelsea.  How was it determined that your dog is allergic to the cat?  I have not heard of this before.

    We went to the vets and they said because of her having rashes and itching all off the time. Also because it is only where the cat has been near her, so she is allergic to my cat and I really dont want to get rid of my cats hes lovely and ive had him since a kitten

  3. Lisa Pfab

    I would wonder if the dog is eating cat food that he may be allergic to.

    I would think that she is allergic to food or something else.  I would make sure the dog cannot get to the cats food, or the litterbox

    It sounds like u should take him to the vet for a professional opinion.  This may happen whenever he gets excited but your vet can give you a better answer after examining your dog.

    It sounds like fleas or allergies.  Allergies manifest in rears, paws, and ears usually. try flea preventative first.

    That was so nice of you to take the poor little kitten in, the kitten should stay with the mother at lease till the babies are 8 weeks old. You should only put the drops in every 6 hours. Good luck and enjoy your new baby.

I try to feel around her stomach and paws but when I do, she doesn’t cry which makes me think she’s not in pain. But whenever she tries to stand, she’s clearly in pain.

    Hello,
    It’s hard to say what could be going on…Is your dog spayed? Has she eaten anything abnormal? Is she eating/ drinking/peeing/pooping….
    It sounds like a vet trip is in need, crying and acting painful is a cause for concern that you should get her seen by a vet.
    Good luck!

    you can try tuna packed in water to get him to eat. but you need to see a vet asap.

  2. Beth Pritt

    Planning on the vet trip today. The loud moaning when he moves is whats got me concerned. I will definitely try the tuna packs. Thank u

  3. Robin Laybolt

    It sounds like your cat might have something broke. I’m glad you have a vet appointment. I hope your cat will be ok.

  4. Beth Pritt
