My 6-year-old Lab is limping, shaking, and acting very lazy. Why?

Question

My 6 yrs old male labra dog back legs are shaking alot when he stands and is limping ehen he walks. He has become lazy and least interested to play. I’ve seen a point on his right front leg which he keeps on licking and his skin at that point is little hard. Please tell me what to do so that he can get rid of rare legs shaking and his limping due to his front legs. Pet's info: Dog | Golden Labrador | Male

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Bruno. I recommend that he sees a veterinarian. He may need x-rays of his rear legs. I am worried that he may have arthritis or another joint condition that is contributing to his pain. The skin can be assessed at the same appointment. However, it is probably a separate issue from the mobility problems. In the meantime, do not give any over-the-counter pain medications as these can be toxic to dogs. I hope this information helps!
