A sprained foot in a dog is usually caused by a joint injury or sprain. This can be caused by a fall, fall, impact, or sudden stop while the dog is playing, running, jumping, or landing. Older dogs are also more susceptible to joint damage due to bone and joint disease and degeneration.
In addition, a dog's weight, muscle and bone structure also affect their risk of injury. Larger dogs, those that are overweight or have insufficient muscle mass are more susceptible to joint injuries. If a dog twists its foot, the owner should take it to the veterinarian immediately for a check-up. The veterinarian may order X-rays or other tests to determine the severity of the injury and provide appropriate treatment recommendations such as rest, pain medication, and physical therapy.
