Why is My Dog Limping? Mobility Evaluations & Pain Relief

A sudden limp, difficulty standing, favoring a leg, or hesitating before stairs can indicate a soft-tissue injury, ligament tear, fracture, or progressive arthritis. Because dogs naturally try to mask pain, visible limping or stiffness means their discomfort has reached a critical point. Houston Veterinary Clinic uses thorough orthopedic exams and digital radiology to inspect bones and joints. From tailored pain management to orthopedic surgery when necessary, we build customized plans to restore your dog's mobility and comfort.
