Why do dogs limp?

Answer 1

Usally when your dog is limping the cause of it is rough play or a pressure or tention on the affected area. Wait a day to see if that it is just sore leg. But after that you should call your veterinarian to get pain reliving pills for your pet. Make sure that you DO NOT give your pet human pain reliver unless your veterinarian directs you to.

Answer 2

Dogs limp due to pain - they are trying to keep their body weight off the painful limb and this changes how they walk, resulting in a limp.

Causes of pain in the limb vary from injury (strained tendon, for example) to illness (such as infectious Arthritis) to degenerative disease (chronic sterile arthritis) to cancer (osteosarcoma).

Answer 3

this is a common disease many older or young dogs may experience. it is called Canius limpus and may occur for a number of reasons. the first being that the dogs right testicle contains more sperm than the left causing it to hang awkwardly causing the dog to limp. if the dog is a female it may be because the right ovarie contains more eggs than the left and has swolen causing the dog to have an un-proportionate abdomen. this is a very serious infection and the dog should be treated immediatley.

Answer 4

When a dog limps, it is almost always because some of its limbs hurt or its usual way of moving has been changed in a way. you should make sure that the limp is not bad enough to stop the dog from carrying any weight on the bad limb.
