Limping is a common sign of discomfort in the bones or muscles of your dog, but it can have a variety of causes. In the article below, we will discuss some of the common causes and tips for your vet visit. It's always best to have your pet examined by a veterinarian if you notice Fido limping.

Why is My Dog Limping?

There are a few reasons our feline friends make us sneeze and wheeze. They produce something called the feline d1 protein, which is in their saliva, dander, and fur. This allergen is what we're thought to be allergic to. Many of the longer, fluffier-haired breeds of cats shed more often and along with their dander.

<p dir="auto">As the weather gets nicer and begs for more outdoor activity with your pet, it is important to understand the risks of ticks.</p><p dir="auto">Tick bites on both pets and humans can lead to Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, which cause very dangerous and uncomfortable symptoms such as anemia, arthritis, and even paralysis. Ticks are, therefore, something to be understood and avoided. Here are some facts about ticks as they affect your fur baby.</p><p dir="auto">Ticks are ectoparasites, which means they live by feeding on the blood of mammals, birds, and sometimes reptiles and amphibians. They attach by inserting their mouthparts into the skin. Many ticks additionally secrete a sticky substance that keeps them attached. The places where ticks attach can become red and irritated, which is easier to spot on a human than it is on an animal with fur.</p><p dir="auto"><strong>Prevention</strong><br>The best way to prevent ticks from attaching to your pet is to keep them inside and on leash when they are outside. Regardless (because even animals who stay indoors can get ticks that come in via other animals or humans), we recommend a prescription medicine regimen to prevent both ticks and fleas in your animal.<br>If your dog runs free in your yard and you have woods, try to create a landscape buffer, such as gravel or mulch, to separate the lawn from the more tick-friendly wooded area.<br>Treat the garden areas with a pet-safe insecticide. Same with the inside of your home–treat your carpeting, furniture, and walls with an eco-friendly tick preventative.</p><p dir="auto"><strong>Removal<br></strong>After all your attempts to prevent ticks from biting your animal, you may find a tick. There is a right way and a wrong way to get rid of ticks.</p><p dir="auto">Don’t just pull them out by hand or try to burn them. Instead, use fine-tipped tweezers placed close to the skin. Carefully pinch the tick’s head with the tweezers, and without twisting, pull it straight out. Be careful not to crush or squeeze the tick’s body, which can accidentally cause the tick’s bacteria-filled blood to get into your pet’s bloodstream.</p><p dir="auto">Once the tick has been removed, place it in a jar of insecticide or rubbing alcohol.</p><p dir="auto">Do not flush the tick down the toilet or sink, as they can survive in water.</p><p dir="auto">Because ticks can carry so many diseases, protect yourself from contact by wearing gloves and thoroughly washing your hands after you’re finished</p><p dir="auto">After removal, clean the area of the bite with an antiseptic. The bite area may itch, causing your pet to scratch or chew at it, so continue to monitor the area to make sure it doesn’t become infected or abscessed.</p><p dir="auto">Lastly, continue to monitor your pet after you remove a tick from their skin, as symptoms of tick-borne diseases may not show up for several days or weeks. Stay on the lookout for fever, loss of appetite, lethargy, or any stiffness in the limbs.</p>
