Woody has been limping coming back from his walk. I've checked all of his paws and I can't find anything that has gotten stuck in them. If he doesn't improve soon I'm going to take him to the vet, don't know what it is though :/.

Poor Woody  Sorry to be no help but I cannot think of anything it could be if you can't find anything in his paws  Perhaps his leg joint hurts or something like that? Hope he feels better soon  |

Me too CC thankyou!. It could be his joints, he was took on a longer walk today and could just be feeling a bit tired.

How active was the walk? Mad play session? Lots of running about? Could be a strain, maybe take it easy for a few days, no walk then build it up again. If his still limping after a day or two of rest I would head to the vets.  |

We've been going through something similar with Jasper, started after a very energetic play in the river two weeks ago in Saturday. We played the waiting game and tried to get him to take it easy, not easy to do with a 10 month old terrier I can tell you. But he's doing fine now, I think it was a strain. Keep an eye on it and if there's no improvement in a few days then I'd certainly take him to the vets. |

gladys he gets walked near roads so he is kept of a shortish lead..he just trots along x). I shall keep him rested though he will probably pug that he can't go out. cazypops it might be strain but he only got walked a bit longer today so I'm going to see how he goes after a bit of rest then if he is still the same take him to the vets. Nice to hear Jasper is okay now I guess that it's easier to strain little legs. I shall let you know of any improvements, thanks for your help .

Jademoo I'm sure you will but keep checking the paw pads, somethings they don't show anything to begin with and then may be swollen or sore looking after a few hours or over night.

Yeah I know the feeling and I thnk your right and thanks BT . gladys Well he rested his leg by lounging around the house and he doesn't seem to be limping anymore, I am thinking of buying some joint supplements though so that he is at less risk of injuring himself again . |

That's good to hear and sounds like a good idea. Don't forget to make sure he still takes it slow for a few more days. |
