I have to lift him up so he can get on my bed and he won't put his 2 front paws on me so I can pet him. I don't know what's wrong with him.

He's not even 3 years old, it just started. Does anyone know a price range of how much it would cost to take him to the vet? Or what I should do for him until I can take him to get seen? Should I give him pain relievers or something?

Also he is not over weight. FYI I am not a bad owner...I just know theres a lot of things that can be "treated" at home or things that go away within a few days. I was just curious as to whether or not anyone has heard of this or not and if there was a way to do this at home instead of making a trip to the vet.

More than likely he has hip dysplasia, if he is a large breed dog it is very common. You need to take him to the vet and they can prescribe medications like Rimadyl & Cosequin, also diet can help. But you really need to get him to a vet.

It may just be arthritis or a sore muscle but I would take him to the vet. You didn't mention how old the dog was. I had a pomeranian and when he was very old he got that way and would cry trying to get up or down and even if I picked him up. He's obviously in pain so call the vet as soon as you can and let them look him over. If you can't get an appt. for a few days, ask the vet if there is anyhting you can give him or do to make him comfortable,like a fresh warm blanket if it's arthritis. Good luck.

Dog is not even 3 years??? Do you or do you not have a vet that this daog has been seeing for things such as immunizations & rabies shots, etc...?
If you don''t, then SHAME ON YOU
If you do, then call this vet & ask the vet these questions instead of yahoo answers
You mention frotn paws & not back legs.... this could be knees, it could be spine, it could be withers.... only a vet & Xrays is going to be a conculsive answer
Bless this poor baby's little heart...... please take him to the vet & get him some help

It'll be about $45 for a consultation with the vet. please take him NOW as this could be a serious problem that could be fatal if you don't check it out. for a young dog, this could be a twisted intestine, or some other organ damage or problem. It might be very easy to sort out, but you HAVE TO GO TO A VET.

And he grew to become into, he had to leap all the time, however the falls the place harsh on him so he in a while did very small jumps a million feet or the utmost 2. the subject is canines artwork with instinct and thoughts. My canines no rely what he wouldnt leap despite the fact that if hes entire by no skill ate meat, he grew to become into extremely dying to get a number of that smoking meat on the bar.

try dog stairs
your dog might have just sprained himself from jumping on the bed so much... try to keep him from doing anything straining for a while till the pain goes away... then get him dog stairs so its easy to go in and out of the bed!
