Limping (lameness) in dogs can be subtle or very obvious. You may see your dog holding up his/her paw or hopping on three legs from time to time, or you may see your dog consistently not putting any weight on his/her paw at all. Severe lameness needs prompt veterinary attention, as your dog is likely very uncomfortable and in need of medication to relieve pain. Do not give your dog any pain medication without consulting with a veterinarian.#limb#Medicine,SurgeryandSterilization
That’s a really important reminder. Even mild limping can point to something serious like a sprain, fracture, joint issue, or even a foreign object stuck in the paw. Since dogs often try to hide pain, noticing these early signs makes a big difference. Best step is always to have a vet check it out before trying any home treatments.
