When to See a Vet for Dog Limping & Mobility Issues

Whether your dog developed a sudden limp after playing fetch or struggles to stand up after a nap, mobility issues should never be ignored. Limping is a direct sign of discomfort, ranging from a sprained muscle, torn ligament (ACL/CCL), or embedded paw debris to chronic conditions like hip dysplasia or canine arthritis. At Garrison Animal Hospital, our Orthopedic & Joint Care services utilize in-house Digital Radiology to quickly diagnose bone, joint, and tissue damage. We craft tailored treatment plans—including pain management, joint therapies, and surgical options—to help your dog run, jump, and play comfortably again.
