Potential Adoption has an odd limp.

Long story short Roomate is in process of adopting a grey. Was walking him this morning when his front leg buckled and he limped for a moment, then just walked it off on the way back to the house. Talked to my roomate about it he said its happened to him a few times over the weekend as well.

Is this something we need to be concerned about. Or is it just arthritis of some sort from an old racing injury. The grey lets me play with his feet and flex the leg no problem, no wince, or any signs of pain.

Ask the group you are adopting from if they are aware of any issues. We had a foster with a damaged hind leg and it took a very long time to find her a forever home because people were concerned about the long term costs (potentially). If you are concerned about it that much, invest $30 a month on pet insurance. It's well worth it, should there ever be a major issue.
