Any dog that is limping is in pain; that is why she is limping, the foot hurts to put weight on it. You will need to take Brandy to a vet for an exam. The problem could be anything from a sticker in her foot to arthritis to a strain/sprain of ligament or tendon. It may not be the paw, it could be anywhere on her leg that is the issue.
