My older dog is limping, especially after exercise. What can I do?

[]

Answer

Limping in older dogs, particularly after exercise, is commonly associated with arthritis or other degenerative joint diseases. It can also be due to soft tissue injuries or even more serious conditions. It's important to have a vet examine your dog to determine the cause and develop an appropriate pain management plan. This might include anti-inflammatory medications, joint supplements, weight management, and controlled exercise. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
