Unsound dog, boxrest?

[vallin]

So Daisy has been looking uncomfortable for a few days now, hard to pinpoint exact location of lameness but occasional front paw limp then looking not quite right in the hips? Am I best just restricting exercise to a couple of short on-lead walks a day and seeing what happens or should I be looking to take her to the vet? Thoughts?
Thanks

Personally I’d give her a few days of metacam (if you have some) and rest and see how she goes.

Yeh I would act like I would with my horses and keep exercise restricted.
Personally I would not drug as then they may not remember they are in pain and over do it. Give it a few days before vet unless it gets drastically worse
