Whenever a dog is limping or showing sign of discomfort it is definitely NOT normal. It's possible your pup might have injured himself on something, or perhaps he has a piece of gravel stuck between his paw pads. If you live in a cold region he may even have an ice ball stuck in the pads of his foot, which can be very painful. I advise you check his paws for any foreign objects that may be causing the discomfort. If not, your dog may have a more serious injury and it might be safer if you take him to the veterinarian to have him examined. I hope this information helps. My GSD started to limp at around 5 mos of age. After seeing several vets we discovered he has elbow dysplasia. Just keep that in mind if you rule out injury. |
