Why is my 10-month-old poodle limping but not showing pain? Vet?

Question

I have a 10 month old standard poodle who has been limping for a few days. She will only use her back left leg when running. She doesn't cry or whimper and she gives no indication that she is in any pain. What could the problem be? Should I take her to my regular vet?

Limping is a sign of pain in dogs, so if Lucy has been limping for a few days, then yes she is in pain. She is also showing signs of pain if she won't use the leg unless she is running. She could have strained or torn a ligament causing the limping. Definitely take her into the vet first thing in the morning. This is something that needs to be examined and treated by a vet. Please do not give her any human pain medications, as many are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. The vet can prescribe pain medication as needed. I hope this helps!
