limping
So i was walking lexy last night andbi noticed she was limping a little so i checked her paws for stones as the pavements in the street are being relaid but nothing although she walked a gd 45 mins for me anyway. She was fine running around garden for a few hours with diesel playing etc until i noticed her limping on our walkies. When we got home i rubbed the muscles etc on her front legs to find anything unordinary or if if she wud find it discomforting but nothing. Cud she have just knocked her leg and i didnt notice??

Re: limping
Could be a lot of things to be honest. It could be a sore muscle, toe, tendon. Best to take it easy for a few days and watch. Don't encourage Lexi to do stressful things on the leg and watch her. Staffies can hide their pain fairly well, so you have to be careful.

Re: limping
I agree with Ben, staffs have a high pain threshold so if they start limping the pain must be quite bad.
Rest her for a couple of days & see how it goes.
