Common Reasons for Pet Limps

Pets can limp for many reasons, including arthritis, injuries, infections, or fractures. Mild limping that improves quickly may not need urgent care, but watch for signs like vocalizing in pain, swelling, bleeding, disorientation, or inability to bear weight. If you notice any of these, or if the limp worsens, seek emergency veterinary care immediately. When unsure, contact us for advice on the best next steps.
