My senior dog screams from sudden front paw pain when standing.

Poor Paris! I agree that she should be examined by the veterinarian. They will palpate her leg to determine where the source of pain is coming from. They will palpate her for any broken bones. They may recommend a radiograph if a fracture, bone tumor or infection is suspected. They can also provide her pain medication to make her more comfortable. I hope she starts feeling better quickly.

Please have him assessed urgently for injury and inflammation by your vet. Fractures, dislocations, spinal disk disease and abscesses are just some of the possible causes of pain. He should receive urgent pain assessment and medications to help relieve his discomfort and suffering

Clearly Tink is in pain if she holds her leg up in the air and she cries when you touch her paw. She is a little dog and if she feel from a high bed, I'm concerned she could have broken her leg. The only way to rule out a broken leg is with an x-ray from the vet. In addition, she needs pain medication which you cannot give her OTC. Many human pain medications are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. The best thing to do for her is take her into a vet immediately to get this examined and treated. Please do that now. Best of luck.

Poor Dolly - she really does need an emergency vet check to identify the case of her pain and poor balance. Middle ear, vestibular disease, spinal issues and leg injuries could all be contributing to her signs and she needs rgent pain and anti-inflammatory medications

Hi there. Sadie could have a lot of different things going on especially if she’s an older dog. Shaking can indicate pain or any kind of general discomfort. If she’s licking her front leg a lot she may have some pain isolated to that area and that is why she’s licking it. If you are concerned I would recommend contacting her owners and see if you can have a vet check her and make sure nothing else is going on and also check her for pain. If she’s painful the vet can prescribe something that would be safe for her and make her more comfortable.

It could be Sadie has injured her paw, such as a ligament strain or even a broken bone. I recommend resting her for the next 48 hours. No running, jumping, or playing. Take her out to toilet on a leash, and bring her right back in when she's done. If she still appears painful after this time, then I would take her into the vet for an exam. The vet can diagnose where the pain is coming from, and can dictate a treatment plan for it. She may also benefit from some pain medications, which the vet can prescribe. Please do not give her any human pain medications, as many are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given.

Poor Alex. He could have a toenail that is embedded in the skin or even an injury to his toe itself if he landed on that foot the wrong way. He needs to have this examined by your local veterinarian to determine the extent of the injury first. Once we know what's going on with the toe then we can know how to best treat it. If you can't get him in right away then you can soak the foot in warm Epson salt bath for 5 to 10 minutes to alleviate pain and inflammation. Otherwise getting him seen is the best option to control Alex's pain and treat whatever injury exists.
