My son's dog is moving slower the last few weeks. It takes him about 3 times as long to go up a flight of stairs. He is about 6 years old.

Can a minature poodle have hip dysplasia? He is 13 yrs. old and weighs about 8 pounds.

I have a 9 year old spayed female Rottweiler who is overweight. Two weeks ago my dad took her for a walk to the grass field at night. At the field, she chased and played around with a soccer ball. After playing, she limped back to my dad, with her back right leg not touching the ground. My dad did not see what happened, since it was dark. Two weeks later, she still limps with her right back leg still raised up. What is wrong and what can I do?

My 6 year old dog has been having some pain in his paws and neck and shoulder area what could be the cause of this?

My pug is 11 years old. Her back legs give out frequently and she has a hard time getting up. It seems to be getting worse. Is this just old age or can it be corrected? Everything else is fine with her except this problem with her hind end.

I have an 11 year old Great Dane. He is in great shape in his front body, but his back (below rib cage) has problems. He does not appear to be in any pain, just unable to balance himself at times. What can I give him? Is this deterioration or arthritis?

My puppy's outside toenail on the left front points to the outside. It is causing him pain and he is favoring it. What do you think it might be? Also the toenail itself is growing irregular compared to the others.

I was wondering if you had any information about hip dysplasia? My dog is 4 years old and has it. What can I do for her?

My dog has luxating patella, he has twisted his leg wrong and now he is in pain. Can I give him any type of tylenol or asprin to help his pain?

I took my Yellow Lab for a run with me as I rode my bike. When we returned home I noticed that his paws skin had been removed because he ran on the pavement and street. (He is an inside dog and is only used to carpet and the grass of our backyard.) What may I do for him to help the pain and help his paws heal? Also, how can I prevent this from happening again?
