Limp?
My boy is limping, started yesterday on his back leg but he jumps about like amad thing when he's playing and otherwise he's been fine but today he's started limping on his front leg as well. I've checked his paws, they look fine, no cuts or inflammation. Could it be muscular from over zealous play and running? What's the best thing to do? I'm phoning the vet tomorrow, hope they can fit him in!

Trying to keep him off his wee feet, he's not too against it so that makes me think he must be sore. Wish I could just take it away from him my poor fella!

Well just back from the vets, it appears that Nicos madness and my wooden floors do not mix well, he's got a shoulder strain, probably caused by slipping about during playing. Vet has recommended paw wax to give him more grip! Anyone else used this?
