My dog is limping on two legs and peeing more. What should I do?

Question

Hi, My Ghost woke up today and after urinating, a few minutes later he suddenly started limping from two of his legs.... He was all ok and no injuries occurred as we are with him 24/7. He does not seem to show pressure pain as I rub or massage his effected legs. He touches down and then lifts back up, nothing stuck in the paws, I checked. He has no fever, but urinating a little more than usual with breaks in between. What to do? Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 2 years old | 56 lbs

Poor Ghost! You didn't mention which limbs are affected, so it's a good idea to bring him to your vet if he's having trouble walking at all, or is showing an increase in other symptoms such as the urination issues or other signs like vomiting, diarrhea, inability to pass stool or urine, etc. Until you can get to the vet, keeping him on kennel/bed rest with leashed walks only (or helping him get about with a towel sling under his belly if it's both front or both back limbs) can help reduce further pain or irritation until your vet can figure out what's going on.
