hi

i have a 7 month puppyand weights 55 pounds. it a mixed breed German Shepherd/ rottweiler.

recently while im walking my dog i notice it gets cramps. it lift up one leg and starts limping for a while then it seems to go away. is it normal for a dog to get cramps??

thanks

I'd check with a vet...it could be a hip problems. GS are prone for hipdisplasia.

Rotties can be also. Call a vet.

i agree - i would check with a vet too. it is possible its a cramp, though i would think it may be more likely that there is a skeletal problem (maybe a torn ligament, or some orthopedic problems like pano, etc)

please keep us updated!
