I have a dobermann 10 months old. Two months ago he started limping as his left front paw swollen and the vet gave him three shots of pentorse 100. Now he is limping and looks like his right paw is hurting him. No visible injury nor swelling. Vet gave him Hexia tablets. What would be the reason? And what’s happening?

Please take him to the vet and get the physical examination done. Please add calcium to his diet until he turns one year old

Hello Doctor. Thanks for the reply. However, he was taken to the vet and it’s the vet who prescribed him these tablets. All I heard from the vet was this is an auto-immune to which I did not understand clearly and wanted a second opinion

Polyarthritis is an auto immune disease where you will see swelling in the multiple joints generally noticed in the elbow and knee joints. If your dog is experiencing the same thing, then your dog's immune system is fighting back against his own body tissues which is joints in his case.

My beagle arya too suddenly started limping, and I could not see any visible injuries or swelling. I'm giving her 'relaxyme ' tabs.. Twice a day for a week(as suggested by her vet in Chennai). I also use amrutanjan joint spray, when her limp is really bad. Now it's 3 days. Waiting and hoping that she will get better.
