My 16 month old German Shepherd has been limping a lot lately. I first noticed it last week but he was fine after a few minutes so I presumed he just had a dead leg from sleeping on it funny. It seems to be his back legs, but not either one in particular. It was only yesterday that it started to become constant. I will take him to the vet first thing Monday morning. About 5 months ago he had 3 benign tumors removed from the top of his head. I was wondering if anybody thinks him limping could be connected to that in anyway and not just an injury to his legs?
It could be! thanks. No he doesn't hold it up to his chest, he just try's to keep weight of it. He also seemed a bit disoriented this morning, but that could be because he was asleep when i turned on the light.
they where just under the skin on the top of his head. I haven't yet as it wasn't until yesterday that I began to think that his lame legs might not be an injury. I have an appointment for first thing Monday morning.
I brought Axel to the vet this morning. He is going for x rays on Wednesday. All the vet could say without x rays are that his hips are very tight for his age. Fingers crossed that he is ok otherwise.
