Dog Urgent if non-weight-bearing

Limping can be minor strain or injury that needs urgent imaging.

Reference route

Dog Limping

Limping can be minor strain or injury that needs urgent imaging. Start by tracking ability to bear weight, swelling or heat in the limb.

Next step now: Urgent if non-weight-bearing. Track ability to bear weight, swelling or heat in the limb first, then open the full route if the pattern repeats, worsens, or starts affecting comfort.

When to escalate: Move fast when a pet will not bear weight, cries in pain, or swelling appears after trauma.
