My Great Pyrenees is limping after playing or waking. What's wrong?

If he is experiencing hindlimb lameness, it is most likely his knee or hip. The most common cause of lameness we see in large breeds is stifle injury secondary to a crucuate ligament tear or degenerative joint disease of the hips. You should have him evaluated by your veterinarian to determine the underlying cause and discuss treatment plan.

If it just started you can let him rest for a few days with minimal walking and minimal physical exercise, if it does not improve within 3-4 days you will have to take him to the vet in order to get it checked and treated, he might need pain killers for a few days. if the vet think it's something more serious such as a fracture, joint injury or foreign body, he might recommend to have an xray done as well.

Poor Boston! I recommend to have her examined by her veterinarian since the limping has been going on for a week and she is acting depressed. She may be in pain. Limping could be due to an injury but her breed can be prone to several painful growth abnormalities. The doctor may need an x-ray to check her bones and joints for abnormalities. It’s best to get this checked out today if possible. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Poor Gunner! I recommend resting him for the next 48 hours. No running, jumping, or playing. Take him out to toilet on a leash, and bring him right back in when he's done. If he still appears painful after this time, then I would take him into the vet for an exam. The vet can diagnose where the pain is coming from, and can dictate a treatment plan for it. He may also benefit from some pain medications, which the vet can prescribe. Please do not give him any human pain medications, as many are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. Best of luck, I hope this helps.
