Limping after a jump?
A small limp can sometimes improve with quiet rest, but it is worth paying attention to what you see.
Watch for:
• Holding a paw up
• Stiffness after resting
• Reluctance to jump, climb stairs, or play
• Swelling, crying, or repeated licking
Keep activity calm and avoid encouraging more jumping. Do not give human pain medication — it can be dangerous for pets.
If your pet will not put weight on the leg, seems very painful, or the limp lasts more than a day or two, contact us for advice.
