My dog limps around the house but not on walks. What's wrong?

Question

Hello, my dog is limping while walking around the house but not during walks/runs outside. He is behaving normally (eating/sleeping,etc.). Pet's info: Dog | Toy Poodle | Male | unneutered | 8 years and 9 months old | 15 lbs

Sometimes when dogs get really excited they have an endorphin release and so they aren’t as painful and don’t limp. Then when they are comfortable at home they are more painful and show their limp more readily. If this continues then I would encourage you to have him evaluated by your veterinarian soon. Best of luck and I hope he improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
