Help!! - Paw Talk

well I have one little problem. My dog has been acting weird and suddenly last night, after running and playing, she started to limp and wouldn't put down her back foot. I also have noticed that she doesn't wanna put pressure on her back foot. She has never had this before, and were not sure if we should take her to the hospital or not. Please give advice

is it winter where you are, is it freexing col and snowy? check between her pads for clumps of ice. take her to the vet in case the got frostbite

I would check the paw to see if maybe some salt (like the kind that melts ice) or something else is stuck in her paw.

If she keeps acting that way even though her paw looks fine I would call the vet and see what they say.

I would call the vet and describe the symptoms to them. There are a wide range of issues that could be causing that type of problem.

Can you update us on how she is doing?

Yes, call the vet, and see what they say. Keep us updated!

After some few days with medication to relive some pain, she is doing better. although she is still limping a little, she is getting better. I'm pretty sure it was just a pop out in her kneecap and then might have popped it self right back in. I did some research and found that out. if this continues, then we would have to go to find out if she has arthritis.
