    6 YO Dog Limping & Whining?
    We have an almost 6-year-old Lab/Golden mix. For about a month she has been limping when getting up. I thought arthritis. Starting last evening she has been whining and won't step on that paw/leg. She will let us touch it and nothing feels out of the ordinary.

    We do have a vet appointment for later this afternoon, but...

    Ideas?

    Thanks!

    Sounds like maybe she has a splinter. The best thing is to take her to find out exactly what the problem is then we would be better able to help with some suggestions,
    Glad you have an appointment that is the best thing you can do.

    Torn ligament in her right rear knee was the diagnosis.

Limping on and off? [ 7 Answers ]

Trink's been walking funny off and on yesterday and today.

And...

Limping Dog [ 1 Answers ]

We acquired Max as an orphan by some new construction model homes (I've since decided this is a dog drop off zone). I thought he was an adult, as it turned out he was so young he hadn't lost a tooth even, and was already 37 pounds! He's now almost 2 - we have given him Halloween for a birthday...

Cat is limping [ 3 Answers ]

I just noticed it this morning. My cat Oreo is limping and is favoring her left front paw. But when she plays with our other cat she runs and doesn't seem to be feeling much pain until I touch her paw then she snarls and bites at me. Any suggestions?
