An abnormal gait can be due to a wide array of underlying problems or conditions. These can be as simple as a recent trauma or an infection in the spinal cord, to issues stemming from the central nervous system, musculoskeletal system and even cancers. Often the problem starts small and is not noticed, but progresses to the point of muscle and joint damage. Pain can cause a dog to adjust its gait to put less pressure on the trouble area to relieve the pain, but this can lead to further orthopedic problems.
A gait is the pattern of repetitive limb motions that a dog uses to walk, trot, run and gallop. When that gait begins to look abnormal, with the dog limping, staggering, favoring a side, and showing signs of weakness and difficulties in walking, it is often a sign of a more serious issue that cannot be seen. An abnormal gait should be a signal to schedule an appointment at your veterinary clinic.
