My dog is limping badly after a run today. What should I do?

[]

Answer

This is an emergency - please take your pet to your nearest emergency veterinary clinic immediately. A sudden, severe limp after exercise could indicate a serious injury such as a sprain, dislocation, fracture, or a torn ligament. Trying to self-diagnose or treat at home could worsen the injury. A veterinarian will be able to perform a thorough examination, take X-rays if needed, and provide immediate pain relief and appropriate treatment to prevent further damage.
