Hi, welcome to Dogsey! How old is your dog? Assuming he's getting on a bit, it might just be age catching up on him in which case glucosamine Sulphate might help lube the old joints.

A bit more detail like if e stopped limping during the course of the day etc. might get you a better answer.

You don't say how long he has been limping for.

If more than a couple of days, then it's wise to let your vet examine him

Limping can be caused by many things from sprains to hip problems etc and only a proper examination will tell you what the exact cause is and the appropriate treatment
