Comment to 'Dog limping I need help or advice please :('
  • Great advice Betsie. David - it is normal for us to think that our dogs should be able to whatever we ask. If the dog was overweight, and had just lost the extra pounds and started looking good - it really did not mean that he was fit and ready for the tougher sport. Keep him at his good weight and slowly increase his endurance level by low impact (no turns and hanging on poles) exercise until you can tell the change in musculature. It is like us humans - everytime we over do it - something breaks :) Good luck at the vet - and I hope you get good news. What Betsie said is spot-on and those soft tissue injuries are very difficult to diagnose because they are normally temporary until they become debilitating and permanent.
