Health & WellbeingThe other day our husky stepped on our poodle's paw and he seemed to have gotten hurt but then we thought it was fine. Today he began to limp a little and hardly walk on the paw where the husky stepped on.
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Poor Bruno! Possible causes of Bruno's limp are: strain or a sprain from being stepped on, if he is older it could have aggravated arthritis, a toe or a bone could be broken, or it could be something unrelated like Lyme disease. Since Bruno can hardly walk on the leg that indicates pain. I recommend having Bruno seen by your Vet for an exam. If there is concern for the paw then they may want to take X-rays, otherwise they may just prescribe anti-inflammatories and rest. I hope this helps and I wish Bruno a speedy recovery!
