both legs same, no growing out caps, or going sideways. i pushed both cap places, nothing. only when the puppy see my hand touching his leg, he goes after my fingers. if he's not looking at my hand, i can touch however i want.

he also limp right after he jump down from a high bed. after few seconds. walks normal.

** he is much better then before with * rimadyl after few days.

i'm going to see if these pills help. then i have to take him to other vets. for now i want to ask when dogs have problems with limp. what should i do?

give him more exercise or less exercise?
less jumping? less walking? more sleep?

put some kind of protection on the leg?

I dont quite understand, if you know that your dog is in some sort of pain and has been limping and still is limping, why are you putting him on a high bed, that you know he is going to jump off of? I'm sure that is not making it any better.
