Limping Pooch

My Milo hurt his leg when just a few weeks old, a day later he was fine.. 2 days ago he started limping but not all the time, we check both his legs against each other but couldn't find anything different.. He is an active dog runs around all day - yesterday he started carrying his leg.. We thought maybe it could be his claws, I sat and really checked his claws, I noticed 2 had cracked and looked reddish!! I cleaned it and he seemed to be ok today but he has started limping again. My vet can't see him til end of week but he says he's not crying when I am checking his leg out..

Anyone have any ideas

Find a vet that will see him sooner?

Re: Limping Pooch

You are just going to have to keep an eye on him. Stop him digging and only give light on lead exercise, preferably on short grass until he can be seen by a vet
