Hay muchas razones potenciales por las que su perro podr\u00eda estar cojeando. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aqu\u00ed est\u00e1n todos los m\u00e1s comunes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"joint-disease\">Enfermedad de las articulaciones <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Las articulaciones pueden experimentar un desgaste gradual debido a ciertas condiciones, lo que hace que su perro cojee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Algunas de estas condiciones incluyen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.akc.org\/expert-advice\/health\/hip-dysplasia-in-dogs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">displasia de cadera<\/a>, osteoartritis, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6055913\/#:~:text=Patellar%20luxation%20is%20extremely%20prevalent,and%20severe%20secondary%20joint%20changes.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">luxaci\u00f3n rotuliana<\/a>, displasia de codo, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadstreetvet.com\/site\/blog\/2021\/08\/15\/ivdd-in-dogs-surgery-cost-recovery#:~:text=IVDD%2C%20or%20Intervertebral%20Disc%20Disease,bones%20and%20spine%20in%20dogs.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">enfermedad del disco intervertebral<\/a>, enfermedad de ligamentos y <a href=\"https:\/\/vcahospitals.com\/know-your-pet\/osteochondritis-dissecans-or-ocd-in-dogs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">osteocondritis disecante (TOC)<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si su perro experimenta alguna de estas afecciones, es probable que la extremidad o las extremidades afectadas le duelan y cojan. Infecciones como <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/es\/prevencion-de-la-enfermedad-de-lyme-en-perros\/\">enfermedad de Lyme<\/a> <\/strong>can also cause joint pain, which is why tick preventatives are so important.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your vet confirms that your dog is suffering from arthritis or dysplasia, they\u2019ll usually recommend a joint supplement consisting of chondroitin and glucosamine. This should help to reduce the dog\u2019s symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"injury-to-the-paw\">Lesi\u00f3n en la pata<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si tu perro ha pisado algo puntiagudo, o se le ha atascado algo en la pata, esto le resultar\u00eda muy inc\u00f3modo para caminar con normalidad, lo que explicar\u00eda la cojera. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can also lead to infection, so always check your dog\u2019s paws if you notice them limping, or licking their paws more than usual.

Todo esto puede provocar cojeras moderadas o graves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oftentimes when your dog is a puppy they\u2019ll limp for no apparent reason- sometimes when they\u2019re fully grown, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si su cachorro parece cojear levemente, espere unos 15 minutos y luego trate de mantenerlo quieto y tranquilo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If after this time they\u2019re back to normal, then you\u2019ll have nothing to worry about, but if they continue limping then you should contact a vet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bone-disease\">Enfermedad \u00f3sea<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los perros m\u00e1s j\u00f3venes, especialmente los cachorros de razas grandes, son m\u00e1s susceptibles a afecciones que afectan los huesos, como <a href=\"https:\/\/vcahospitals.com\/know-your-pet\/panosteitis-in-dogs#:~:text=Panosteitis%20is%20a%20painful%20inflammation,bone%20or%20leg%20to%20another.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">panoste\u00edtis<\/a> y <a href=\"https:\/\/veterinarypartner.vin.com\/doc\/?id=9655798&amp;pid=19239\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">osteodistrofia hipertr\u00f3fica<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some cancers can also affect a dog\u2019s bones, like osteosarcoma.
