23 week old puppy started limping - Page 1

I noticed a small limp on the foreleg(not sure where it is paining him specifically) of my german shepherd yesterday.Today when I came home from work it seemed more pronounced and he wasn't putting any pressure on it. I felt, touched his leg all over and he doesn't seem squeamish or react noticably at any spot and hasn't been licking it. He definitely seems under the weather though and has cried a little intermittenly when he is laying down not walking on it. I know he is bummed out that he can't go for his evening walk and play like only puppies do. I don't feel I have been over excercising him, but he has free played quite a bit the past week or so with some of his puppy friends. Do you think this could be Pano or a pulled muscle or something? Oh yeah, his appetite seems to be fine. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also what do you think about baby aspirin?

Take him to the Vet. Possibly Pano, will need x-rays for that, or other bone disorder. A fracture or pulled ligament, but either way get him to the Vet. In the mean time restricted activity, leash walked, no jumping, playing outside free roaming, running, and so on till he is checked out. He shouldn't be running much and not jumping at this age anyway. He may just feel a bit better after sleeping (swelling subsiding etc..) but can hurt himself again, or do more damage so better to be safe than sorry.:) Good luck with Vet visit and trying to keep a 23-week-old calm. Hoping it is something simple.
