A short story by Cambridge Hydrotherapy Centre 🐾
‘My dog has been limping but isn’t in pain’
Is something hear almost every single day and whilst it can be easy to think that as some dogs limp when walking but will still happily run around like crazy!
Dogs are very adaptable and usually do an action and think about it later therefore they will run around and then go ‘ouch that hurt’
There are loads of ways your dog will show pain and usually yelping and whining is the last resort.
Some symptoms include:
- licking the limb
- finding it uncomfortable to be touch in that area
- behavioural changes. Some dogs may become more irritable with owners and other dogs
- restlessness
- changes in sleep patterns
- altered head position
- decreased appetite
- changes in muscle mass
It’s always good to tune in to what is normal and abnormal for your dog. If your dog is showing any kind of signs of pain then please contact your vet 🐾
