My 7 month old Rottie has been limping for almost a month

I have 2 rottweilers of 13 months. They are brother and sister. They were around 4 months and all of a sudden both of them started limping; the male is affected with the front leg and the female is affected with back leg. Normally, they will limp when they get up after a long sleep/sit. Then, gradually they get better.

Recently I have noticed my Rottweiler limping on his left back leg . When we go on walks he seems to put less wait on it than his right , it’s almost like he’s tucking it in I want to want to wait a week or so just to see if it goes plz can u help

I have a 7 month old Rottie male who had a limp about a month ago. He had it for 3 days so I took him to the vet. The x-rays showed his growth plates where still developing and with a large dog it can cause some pain and limping. He did get over the limping and seems to be fine now.

My titus is having trouble with his back legs. He was fine yesturday. But today he can’t move at all. I had to carry him up to my room. Cant afford emergancy vet. What can I do. He has been having problem s but not this bad.

Hi I have 2 pur breed Rottweilers that are brothers and almost 8 months old now. My 1 baby has been limping for about 2 months and whines and crys allot! I took him to my vet to have them both fixed and my vet said it is common in the larger breed dogs and im finding allot of people saying the same thing about their Rott puppies. The Vet said they do outgrow it, and its from the way their bodies grow. I get worried about my baby too and do hope he outgrows it soon. I hope this helps.

Your pup could have OCD, Osteochondritis Dissecans which is seen in growing pups usually between the ages of 6 – 9 months. One of my rottweilers has this problem and was diagnosed at about the age of 8 months. I first seperated him from my other 3 young dogs for 4 weeks which gives it chance to reattatch and heal. I hae another rottweiler, a great pyreneese, and just a dog (all rescues) and they play hard and all the time. At first when I saw him limping I htought he had something in his paw but after a week I took him to the vet and had an xray done. After his 4 weeks of confinement I slowly allowed him to interact with the other dog’s and again he bgan holding his front left paw up. He would play and run as though nothing was wrong but when play time ended, he would once again feel the discomfort of his condition. I have been told most cases form a low grade discomfort is why te dog is able to regain normal activity with out showing signs of pain.dog’s don’t complain !! I took my dog back to the vet and he had an injection which I couldn’t tell you what all was in it, I just know it cost about $480.00 and had no guarantee. It could last a month, year, or not at all. Unfortuantly this has not offered him much relief s he began limping again within a few weeks. The next step is surgery and due to the cost which I have been told is thousands and thousands,I am going to contact the school for vet’s in my area, or near my area and see if I can get him an appointment for surgery there. If you go to thepetcenter.com and type in the serch bar ocd in rotweilers it will bring up an extremley informative page telling all about this. My dog has it in his shoulder but they can have it in the ankle, shoulder, and elbow joint. Hopefully this is not what your pup has but it is worth checking out just in case. Good luck.
