Front Leg Limping

[@ricardasbertasius5577]

The way she smiled at the dog when he pulled its neck. Tells a lot!!

[@marybowers3705]

I rarely leave reviews and I honestly didn't think I would have gotten so much out of this simple video, but I watched it and checked our 7mo old puppy who started having a minor limp today out of absolutely nowhere. I started checking with the paws and sure enough our puppy has a pretty badly cracked paw. When I tried to gently wash it and put ointment on, he would hardly let me touch it, so I know that is what is bothering him. Also sure enough that is the leg where he's been displaying the limp, not wanting to put pressure on what I'd equate to a bad raw blister. Will be able to call vet tomorrow and get him a foot pad. Thank you for this simple yet thorough video! A+

My little guy was limping on his front paw and it deeply concerned me, and I was able to figure out that nothing was broken thank God! X-rays at my vet start at $100 even if nothing is found, so this video helped a lot. I ended up taking my baby to a chiropractor where his shoulder was popped back into place! 🤯 I saved over $100!

This saved my day! The vets in my area were quoting me an average of 1700 to do X ray, blood tests not including possible medication of course, and at that point I'd be in a position of either affording rent or the welfare of my beloved dog. It seems to be a pinched nerve, for when I moved her neck she did a long sad yelp so I'm just going to limit her movement this week, ban her from the stairs and give her one "dog ibuprofen" a day and see where it goes... thank you so much Doc! For real! UPDATE (months later) I ruled out the pinched nerve thanks to all he vids like this one and her leg got swollen on the upper thigh... warm to the touch.... I thought I was dealing with an infection so I bit the bullet and it ended up being an infected mammary gland next to her leg (I let her run in my backyard and she likes to jump the bushes, so that irritated her tittays and she would scratch them and then got an infection...) animal welfare society hooked us up with antibiotics and the visit/meds were like 50 bucks. Good luck everyone!

when the vet was checking the dog's toes the 2nd time (looking for anything in the pads) the dog gave some very subtle signs that he wasn't comfortable which were not visible to the vet as he was facing away from the dog, he did an eye squint, lip lick then turned his head to the vet putting his face in the vets chest, This would suggest to me that there's paw lameness.

Hi everyone. As a vet nurse and owner of a very stoic springer spaniel… please don’t take this video as a way of diagnosing your pets l look lameness cause. This is a great video but I feel it’s more an explanation of what the vet will do to your dog during an ortho exam. My own dog gives nothing away when I manipulate him at home but my orthopaedic colleague can get a correct reaction. Also note that during a couple of periods, the fog starts to lick. This is often an indication of discomfort. Have a great day 🐾 x

We first noticed our nearly 11 year old very healthy Yorkie started limping after jumping off the bed (carpeted floor). So we’re thinking this is an injury. After he walks for a while he hardly limps at all , but every day starts out like this. We always try to lift him down anywhere before he jumps, but it’s been 2 weeks. Reminds me of an old man. Limps first thing in the morning and gradually gets better. Limps off and on during the day but goes for walks and runs with other dogs, Arthritis? He definitely seems to favor his left front paw. He’s a big Yorkie but not overweight.

She laid around most of the day after I checked her paw/shoulder thoroughly and she seems ok but she is limping. This morning she is still limping but no whining or barking when I touch it. She sits in our bay window looking for us when we’re gone and I’m wondering if maybe she hurt it when we got home jumping down at 50mph like she always does. She’s a little chubby and maybe she pulled a muscle? She’s never had any problems. This is the first time ever. She does seem lethargic but very aware, she’s just kinda laying around and staying off it. Any ideas off the top of your head? Thank you in advance.

He could potentially have arthritis in his joint or joints and so that would be caused by different things depending on which joint is affected. Also he could have God forbid a bone tumor. These are some of the more common things. If you know exactly what you're treating then it's a lot easier to have a very targeted approach to treatment.

So I have had her on limited activity no jumping, short leashed walks and they put her on carprofen first 2x's a day and now gabapentin 3x's a day. She seemed to limp more on the gabapentin. I'm frustrated that they can't find anything and I have taken her for follow up checks 3 times now. Could the arthritis be the cause of her limping if it is only very little ?

My puppy ran up 2 steps and slipped and started to scream and limp, she can stand but when she starts to walk she limps again..anything?

[@DrLera]

Nothing that I would be able to say without laying hands on the patient other then if it's not getting better or they are not improving within 24hrs then you need to go to the vet where they may want to x-rays

My 11 year old labrador is limping on front Left leg, limping Increase when i take him for walk and decrease when he rests. It has been going on from the past week. Any suggestion ?

[@DrLera]

Take him to the vet. They should an orthopedic exam trying to find where the pain is. If it is near the wrist or in the shoulder then I would recommend x-rays and having a board certified radiologist look at them to see if there is any evidence of bone cancer. If there no evidence then great news, the. You can look into any more of options for pain to see if they help like non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs

What should I do? Just now my dog ca9 is suffering her left leg .. I dont know how his happened but it hurts seeing her hurting..😭 I dont know if it is just limping or maybe a her bone broked.. huhuhuhu she wont move it . Shes hurt😭

[@DrLera]

2 options take her to the vet or wait 24hrs to see if she gets better. All depends on your philosophy. Based on what you are saying I would recommend taking her to the vet because you seem to be pretty upset. Good Luck

I did this to my dog and he looks like he has pain in his elbow he’s 8 months old should I call my vet or is there a way that I can fix this at home ?

[@DrLera]

You don't know what it is. So you will need to take him to the vet to find out what it is and then find out what the treatment options are

My standard goldendoodle started limping from front leg all of a sudden while on a walk and now he is barely putting weigjt in the front leg:( I been gently moving his leg in all directions and bending joints ans no pain at all but barely can put weigjt on it

[@DrLera]

Need to go the vet. Best case scenario he has something in his pad, but normally they would something his pad that is a simple fix. But if he is that painful then he definitely needs to be seen since it has been going for 3 days

You’re not even watching his face as you check him!!

[@DrLera]

Usually either myself or somebody my team usually pays attention to see if they're reacting when holding them while I'm doing the orthopedic exam so we'll usually work together as a team. I may have been distracted by the camera. And he did great afterwards no further issues with the front leg

[@BushcraftEurope]

[@BackcourtReport]

My dog is limping without any signs of pain. I tried all the things that the vet in this video shows but my dog didn't show that she's hurt.

[@DrLera]

Hi, we'd recommend taking your dog to the vet so that they can perform a more thorough examination which may include: X-rays & bloodwork.

[@Mxkidd5]

looks like he has a cut on his front LEFT leg

[@momsmushroomsjodyfoster5786]

I wish they were better diagnostic tools besides inflicting pain on an already suffering creature. Can’t you test for temperature differences? Swelling, weakness, tightness, or laxity in the muscles and tendons? Surely there must be other indicators that a skilled physician would note?!

[@DrLera]

There are infrared cameras that can be used to help identify inflammation and we will still have to do a physical exam to confirm the technology is accurate. Pretty sure they did the same thing in humans as well

[@jackyderden8775]

Thanks for the video. I didn't like the way you used a word "bad dog". IMHO even if dog bites vets - it's not a bad dog

[@DrLera]

Fair enough, we could find another term for them. Thanks!

[@applescapetechnologies]

My dog is walking like a broken leg dog, why is that he is walking with 3 legs ,is their a solution... I need to make my dog feel better again.

[@rcsiker]

Is it me or there is actually no response from any vet, everyone's issues are still unresolved, not knowing is a b...., my dog is limping, vets don't know what it is, didn't do xray yet, got some medicine from vets, my dog started throwing up all day so didn't gave him any more ☹️😔😕, 7 year old staffy still full of life, its heartbreaking

[@DrLera]

Could be a number of things the x-rays at least cross a lot of things off the list or will give you an actual diagnosis
