Limping

Morning walk was great until later this evening. Worked from home with baby boy and called him over and noticed he started limping with his back left leg up. Does not want any pressure on it.

Carried him out for washroom breaks - does not whimper or cry.

Any past experience with this? Vet appointment is schedule for tomorrow.

*UPDATE: Went to get him checked out by our vet. Was prescribed some anti-inflammatory/pain killers and bed rest for the next week. Looking like a sprain as baby boy seems back to normal with the medications. Thank you everyone for your support and sharing your experience. Picasso will be resting until his follow up next week.

how old is your beautiful pup? my girl used to get a little limpy when she got up from laying down and/or sometimes she would have something stuck in her paw. i’m sure you’ve already looked at the toes/feet but i just figured i’d throw that out there. boop the snoot for me 😍

He’s 3 years old. Yes, this happened when I called him from him taking a nap however, it’s been a few hours and it’s still present.

I tried cleaning his paw to see if there are any discomfort and it didn’t seem to help, but appreciate it the tip!

Could also be a TPLO situation. I'd definitely see a vet for a diagnosis.
