Common Questions and Answers about Coughing dog limping
coughing
We used this type of collar instead of the Renaissance collar usually provided by veterinarians. When we removed it this evening, our dog is limping on his right front leg. We can move the leg, feel his paws, and does walk on it, but will favor or lift the leg when walking or resting. What could be wrong? I plan to take him or call the vet tomorrow, but was just wondering if anyone might have a clue of what is wrong?
Or had a problem with one of his nails. He was limping around for 2 days, then yesterday in the morning the limping had stopped and he was ok, but today 30th june - noticed that he has been limping again, on his left leg! When i see him walking its like hes dislocated his leg (of course he hasnt) but its a strange limp! - But on a good note, hes not crying or looking in pain, hes quite happy, he looks ok - its just his leg! Has anyone got any advice on what could be going on here?
When things like this happen it could be something that is much more serious than a sprain. If the dog is limping on it then there is some pain there. If there is a tumor there it is best to catch it right away so that it can be addressed.
A sprain would be a good thing in this situation.
Please take the dog in to be checked out.
Let us know how you make out.
My tiny four pound Maltese/Poodle cross has been coughing and I was wondering if someone has any ideas. He is about 8 1/2 and has had issues with his behavoir. He won't let us have him groomed without him trying to bite us or get his nails trimmed, so every four months or so we have to have him knocked out to have this done. I wasn't sure if this was some of his problem from the stuff they give him or what, but he does it alot especially at night.
My 9 yr. old lab started limping in April - no known cause, but she has always been active - running, chasing the ball, etc. Had an MRI done by a neurologist (vet) and a number of biopsies - nothing. They are recommending I take her to Gainesville for nerve tests. She is not improving or getting worse; There is no difference if she has been sleeping for 6 hours or 10 minutes. I am beginning to think it is the paw - no signs of infection, etc. I'm not sure of x rays or mri included paw.
my dg has been limping on one leg she dosent want to get up and shes not eating her food what should i do
It may just be a sprain or strain, but limping is a sign of pain and there are analgesics that are effective and safe in kittens. And of course if it is dislocated, or broken it can be treated.
My 10 year old german shepherd started limping. The vet assumed because of her age that she has arthritis and prescribed Rimadyl. It didn't help plus I have read bad things about what this drug can do to a dog. I was petting her the yesterday and noticed that on one side it feels as if two bones are there and maybe come apart. It does not feel this way on the other side.
I have noticed in the last couple of weeks hat she is limping on one leg. This usually occurs when she is sleeping for a long period of time. The strange thing is when I walk her she does not limp at all and when I take her to the park to run free she runs very fast with no limping. I feed her a good diet, give her vitamins and walk her around 1 mile a day.
my 7 month old German Shephard is in heat for the first time. She's drinking water but not eating and has no energy. she's kinda limping and whining at times. we are really worried about her could the lack of energy and not eating just be because she's in heat?
I have a 3-year-old, 60 pound mixed breed rescue dog. He was found starving, injured, heartworm infested with lung involvement, and shot. We have a handle on all his problems except the limping. When we adopted him a month ago I noticed limping on his back leg. That is gone, and he now limps very badly on his right front leg, which I didn't notice then. He simply began to limp about two weeks ago. Extensive x-rays show nothing in any bone or joint, though his lungs look a little dark.
My 6 year old shihtzu is having issues standing on his hind legs, it seems that the left side is the side hurting him more because when I tried to massage it, he tried to snap at me. Something he doesn't normally dog; about a few months ago we went through something similar but this time it was in the front and he was limping as if he couldn't put any weight on it. He isn't overweight and is still playful, however, I am concerned since it seems to be reoccurring.
My 5 year old miniature schnauzer is 5 years old. She has started coughing and is becoming more frequent. It is almost a panting cough? She also has a bad odor. Which has been going on for a month or two.(odor). I have listened to her chest with a stethescope and she is breathing fast and it sounds thick and dry. I thoguht it was maybe just a case of dust because we mulched leaves (oak and pecan) and we didn't have a bag on the mower and it got pretty dusty.

My dog began limping last night. He could put very little pressure on his right front leg. He was able to walk but limped. He is limp more quickly this morning and we have given asprin. we dont know how he didn't. But we want to make sure it's not dislocated. He has no pain when extend or pulled on leg. A great deal of pressure has to be put on limp and under arm to get a whimper. he let me message which seemed to help.
My St. Bernard was diagnosed with Lyme Disease Monday evening. She was limping for a few days and then it stopped and came back. We gave her an aspirin and it made her very sick, so we took her to vet and the the vet did a blood test that came back positive for Lyme. He gave us Amoxacilin and a med to settle her stomach. My problem is this, She is limping much worse today then she was on Monday. She is eating but not as much previous to Lyme.
Then when it came time to go back to sleep he started limping again but this time on his left leg instead of his right, he began to act the same as the morning scared and not responding as he normally would. We went to bed again, where he seem to sleep much better than the previous night. We awoke and his leg problem was gone but he was still acting a little off and not as responsive and perky as normal. Do you have any idea what would be causing this?
