Hi,

I have a 14mon old GSD and he is limping these days.


I believe it's his right front paw, since I notice he doesnt want to use that paw to touch the ground when he's sitting or standing.


I live in Newark CA (zip 94560). Any recommendation to find a vet?

I don't see any wound. I did some study and think it might be growing pain, yet I still want to see a vet or specialist to make sure he'll be fine.

Mission Valley Veterinary Clinic on Mission Blvd. at Mowry Ave. for a general purpose vet, Dr. S. Gary Brown in Fremont for a specialist.

I have used MVVC for upward of ten years; they are familiar with GSD's and their health issues. Dr. Brown saved my dog's Schutzhund career when he tore a muscle in his leg.

Did you recently move? Who was his previous vet?

Could be a bunch of things... at that age, possibly pano.

Thanks a lot for the recommendation and suggestions. I'll contact MVVC.

He has a vet, yet it's mainly for preventive vaccines and I don't think that's an expert in GSD, plus there's no X-ray in his clinic
