What it could be
Limping can have several possible causes
This section is not a diagnosis. It gives sensible possibilities to help you decide what to monitor and when to involve your vet.
Joint pain or arthritis
Recurring limping after rest or exercise may point to arthritis or joint strain, especially in older or larger dogs.
Soft-tissue or ligament injury
Muscle strains, tendon problems and ligament injuries can create intermittent or persistent limps.
When to call a vet
Speak to your vet if limping lasts more than a day, keeps returning, is severe, follows trauma or comes with swelling, pain or lethargy.
