Thank you for submitting your question regarding Mighty. He is likely experiencing joint pain after his walk from over exerting himself. This can be exemplified by limping, being slow to rise from laying down and struggling to do stairs. If this sounds familiar, he will need to see his veterinarian. He may need x-rays and depending on the results pain medication or joint supplements. Do not give any over-the-counter pain medications as these can be toxic to dogs. I hope this information helps!
