My Dog is Limping in Smyrna, GA, What Should I Do?

If your dog is limping, it may be something minor like a torn nail or something more serious like a broken leg or torn ligament. Examine the paw if your dog allows it, but avoid manipulating the leg if they seem in pain. When in doubt, it's always best to consult your vet.
