Dog limping after the dog park

EN

My 4-year-old mixed breed started limping after a long run at the dog park. It eased overnight but came back after the next walk. Should I wait or book a vet visit?

Rest and a short leash walk for a day or two. Do not give painkillers to keep him running. If the limp repeats, a vet exam and possibly an X-ray are the safest next step.

We had a similar strain. The vet recommended rest and a gradual return to exercise. It took about a week.

Booked an appointment. Thanks, we are keeping walks short for now.
