Why is my German Shepherd puppy limping, panting, and coughing?

Keep an eye on Nyx. If she continues to be uncomfortable tomorrow, I would have her examined by her vet. It could be "growing pains" or something like panosteitis, an inflamed nerve, a sprain, etc. Try to limit activity today (only walking outside on a leash, limited jumping or running). Also, look very closely around each paw pad and between her toes for any punctures, dried mud, or objects stuck in the fur.

Any breathing abnormalities should be addressed by your veterinarian as soon as possible. Dyspnea is difficulty breathing and is a generalized term. It can be a result of a respiratory infection, trauma, allergies, a foreign body in the airways, and numerous other things. If your pet is having difficulty breathing, please see your vet right away.

Limping itself is an indication of pain, so Koda has likely been in pain for the last two weeks. Please have him seen by your vet to help determine the cause of the limping. It could be a muscular issue, joint problem, infection, or a fracture. Pain medications meant for humans can be very dangerous (and even deadly) for dogs, so I do not recommend giving any to your pup without consulting with your vet. Your veterinarian can prescribe safe medication to help with Koda’s condition if necessary. Dry heaving in a large barrel-chested dog such as Koda is concerning as well, as it can sometimes be an indication of bloat. Bloat, although relatively rare, can occur in any dog, although large deep chested dogs tend to be affected by it more frequently. A distended abdomen, retching without production of vomit, salivation, pale gums, and labored breathing can be signs of bloat, and if you notice these signs you should rush Koda to the vet immediately.

There are many possible reasons but especially in German shepherds, hip dysplasia would be a serious concern, especially if she is reluctant to jump up or stretch. Most muscle injuries would be expected to be improving over 3-4days and xrays would be advisable if not settling

This could be due to dust, or strong scents in the environment. I would first check to see if that's a possibility. Things like sand storms, construction, perfumes and smoke can irritate the nasal passages and cause them to sneeze like this. An infection is also possible. Sometimes they can get a mild infection similar to a cold. These infections have the possibility to go away on their own, or can get worse with time. The scratching is suspicious of an allergy, but could also be due to other things like fleas or mites. A vet would need to exam Margo in order to determine this. If Margo starts having nasal discharge, loses energy, or otherwise seems worse, then I'd recommend taking her to a vet. I hope that helps and Margo gets better soon.

Sasha is so cute, but I'm sorry she's doing poorly! If she is limping, she is breathing heavily, trembling, and panting a lot, this can be a sign she is in pain. This would explain why she couldn't even go up the the stairs. If she's finally laying down and isn't showing any of this signs you described in your post, I would keep an eye on her for now and make an appointment for her with the vet in the morning. Now if these symptoms you are describing are continuing, then I think having her seen by a vet now would be best. In this case, please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

A cough could be a sign of a respiratory infection like kennel cough, or could be a sign of respiratory or heart disease. At her age I would recommend having a vet examine her for the cough to rule out anything more serious. I'm not quite sure I can picture what you mean by walking like a soldier, but if Princesa is limping, again, it would be a good idea to have her examined by your vet.
