    What is wrong with my dog?
    My 3 year old cross-breed lab and collie is limping. She started with her right now on her left. She seems very stiff after she is resting. She seems in good form, she seems fine when the dog next door came and played. If you know any website please leave a comment or know any info.:confused:

    You can't rule out arthritis. They are like us getting pain from stiff joints at any age. I am not saying that is the case though. Check her paws to see if they are cut, or if there is anything between the pads.

    What good would it do giving you a website to trouble shoot this problem when all you have to do is use common sense and think and explore.

    Collies are very susceptible to joint problems, and she is half and half. My Borzoi (they are part collie) had joint problems and when I noticed he was having difficult I gave h I'm a baby aspirin, 80 mg. it goes by weight and they are a large dog. A baby aspirin in a bit of weiner, or hidden in her food may alleviate any joint paint by acting as an anti inflammatory. Either that, or see a vet.

    My suggestion would be to take her to the vet. No one can diagnose her on the internet. She seems young to have arthritis or hip dysplasia but it wouldn't hurt to have her checked out.

    Vet. That's really your only option, we can only guess.

    Good luck.

    I will agree that you should take your pet to the vet. It's hard to know, however here is the website that you asked for, there maybe some information you can obtain in regards to the specifics of the breeds it is mixed with... Dog Breed Info Center®, DBI

    Had to spread the rep Tick but my first thought was arthritis too.

    Vet time, you will need to get some medication whether it is arthritis or not ;)
