DOG NOT WELL!!!

hi ever one woke up this morning to find are 6month old staffy buster limping around the hows how could this be? he was fine wen we put him in his creat for the night then we wake up and he limping. i have had look at his front leg and he dont seem to be in pain he just cant walk on it. wot could this be as he was in the creat all night

How big is the crate, does he have enough room to move around easily ??

If the limping continues he may need to checked over by the vet.

Has he been chewing or excessively licking his feet? Logan and a lot of Staffords are known to do this which can irritate their paws. He may have injured himself around the house before going in and it's only started to get stiff. Check in between his paw pads, this time of year especially he could have something stuck in there.

If it isn't causing him any distress don't panic too much. But def keep an eye on it. If it makes you feel any better pop round to your vet and I'm sure they will be happy to look at him for you.

yes the crate is plenty big enough to big if anything, and yes he dons chew and lick his feet alot, could that be the problem?

Logan chews and licks his feet too. He has been health tested etc to see if there was any reason why but there was no reason. Some dogs do it because of allergies to certain foods etc. He just seems to do it when he's bored!

The only reason I mentionned the chewing is that sometimes I have seen Logan bite a bit too hard and has hurt himself. I have also seen dogs chew and lick their feet until they have been raw/bleeding. Possibly your fella has bit too hard and simply bruised/irritated himself. Esp since he's still a young pup.

Have u checked between his toes for debris or sores ? Checked his claws ? Might have pulled one or split a claw ?

If he dosent improve, trip to the vet x

just check his leg and his feet and in between toes and ever thing looks fine no soreness or anything like that. i think he may have chewd a bit to hard

Quite possibly. Logan is forever doing stupid things that could hurt himself. Lept my stair case one day and landed one stair from the bottom

But keep a eye on him cause if it doesn't get better a trip to the vets would be worth doing!

he seems to be in pain now bless him think im goin to take him to the vets

If he is in pain def pop to the vets. Better safe than sorry and it'll not hurt to be sure.
