Hi, I took my boy Diesel out for a walk in the hills yesterday as it was such a lovely day! He was enjoying running around and appeared to be fine. As usual I put him back on his leash before returning to the car and he still appeared to be ok. However about 2 hours later he started limping and although he didn't appear to be in pain when I checked him over, he cant climb the stairs without struggling. This morning when I woke he was already awake (which is not normal for my lazy doggy) which makes me think he couldn't sleep with the pain. He struggled to stand up and then I noticed his whole body was shaking. He is limping on three legs now and will not put any pressure on the other leg. I am taking him to the vets tonight, but I am wondering if anyone has experienced this as I am really worried he has arthritis!! He is only 2.5years old. :(
Thanks.

I can't offer much except good thoughts for you. I never had a dog so young with arthritis, hopefully it's just a minor flare up from the extra exercise.

He may have just injured a tendon or pulled a muscle. I hope that is all it it. Wiggles and well wishes!
