The past few days my 5 year old pekingese has been limping on his front leg.
I touched it and it seems warm compared to his other arm.
I got really paranoid thinking maybe he has lyme disease, but i read all the symptoms and aside from the limping he has no other signs.
He is eating like a maniac, begging for food, playing with toys, and he actually can run without the limp (kinda odd i know lol)
I thought maybe its a sympathy attention limp because our chihuahua just got neutered the other day and coincedently thats when the peke started to limp, could it be an attention thing? or am i giving a dog way too much credit?
It is really cold out, and he does lay on our deck for a few minutes before i call him in, could it be arthritis?
I can touch him all over and he doesnt flinch. I checked the pads of his feet and nothing, although he has been a chewer of his own feet for years now, but his foot doesnt appear to be inflamed, he does have alot of hair though. I mushed his foot a little to see if he felt any pain and nope he didnt flinch, he kinda liked it lol
could it be something really bad? like lyme? lepto? parvo? distemper?
The vet cost so much, just to walk in the door its 60 dollars, i'd like to wait a few days and see how he goes. Its kinda weird going to the vet when your dog is running and tossing toys in the air...but limping when walking...very odd
