My Great Pyrenees puppy is limping and seems depressed. What's wrong?

Question

We have a 9 month old female great pyreeness. She weighs around 92lbs right now. For the last week she has been limping with her front left paw. I have checked for thorns or cuts and checked her entire leg. We do have a tall bed (bedrooms are upstairs so she's limping up and down thoes) that she will jump on/off of from a bench. She isn't eating as much as normal. She is a inside dog but has been hanging outside even at night even when i call and beg her to come in & is acting depressed. Pet's info: Dog | Great Pyrenees | Female | unspayed | 8 months and 13 days old | 92 lbs

Poor Boston! I recommend to have her examined by her veterinarian since the limping has been going on for a week and she is acting depressed. She may be in pain. Limping could be due to an injury but her breed can be prone to several painful growth abnormalities. The doctor may need an x-ray to check her bones and joints for abnormalities. It’s best to get this checked out today if possible. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.
