Hi Lel Sorry not heard of this, but..do you have a limping puppy ?
(In detail as advice for others)First try to determine which leg the limp is caused by. Next stand the puppy on a table and run your hands down the leg from top to bottom gently pressing as you go. Is there a tender spot/pain/swelling and compared to the other leg does it look the same? Check the paw paying particular attention to in-between the toes, any soreness there/thorns/cut pads, look at the nails to see if they look ok and that there is no swelling where the bed of the nail joins the toe. If you can find nothing wrong the chances are the puppy will have pulled a muscle, so try to restrict play and exercise to give it chance to repair. If the puppy continues to limp for more than a couple of days get the vet to check it out and as always if the puppy is in pain or you are really concerned see the vet anyway.

sorry to confuse
we have an on-off limp with Libs.
She isnt exercised for long periods and it doesnt seem to matter whether shes walked on hard ground or soft as to whether the limp appears. The leg sometimes appears stiff upon first waking but eases off later. Shes 9 months old now.
Vet thinks it may be the shoulder (perhaps a tendon) rather than the actual leg or foot. She lets you touch it all over without any bother so doesnt appear to be painful. Just that it comes and goes is whats really bothering me.
Vet says to x ray it and if nothing shows up then they can insert a tiny camera to see whats happening- which I am reluctant to do as yet.
I have asked as to whether it can be a similiar thing to growing pains/aches as in children and he says it is a posiibility....
just wondering whether its happened to anyone elses dog before and did it resolve itself ?

(yes- here I go worrying again)
