| My Shari is limping Since yesterday Shari is limping. (It seems is one of her front legs but I can't be sure), the event is more notorious when she is taking her first steps after a nap. I wondering what this could means. I appreciate comments and guidance. Regards |

| I would go get it checked out by a vet just to be safe. My parents' beagle has pulled the muscles in her front legs a couple times and acts in a similar manner (they still always take her to get an x-ray and a physical exam) but you definitely want to rule out anything being broken or any other orthopedic issues. Hopefully it's just a sprain that needs rest. |

| You need to have it checked out and probably xrays done.

| I would also wonder if she's sleeping on a nerve? Your vet can rule all of these things out and let you know what's going on.

| The first thing to do is check between the pads of her foot. Sometimes they can step on something and get it stuck between their pads. Also make sure her toenails are not to long. Sometimes long toenails can curl around a cause problems. How old is she? Is she normally really active, running around and jumping? If so then she might of injured her shoulder or leg.

| My 7month baby is limping too! Started last Friday out of nowhere and I have taken her to the vet twice and the doctor isn't sure what it is! Vet wants to wait another week until we get xrays The last couple of days I have found her hiding under the bed. I'm so worried. How is your baby? |
