Today I evaluated a Pug with alternating front leg lameness. The Vet checked him for lyme, hypothyroid and other illnesses with no result.
This poor pug had long claws with toe deviation as a result. I advised the owner to get them clipped and do specific stretches for the dog. I also needed to adjust his neck and upper back as well as do some myofascial work on the shoulders since these areas were strained by the abnormal claw length and thus imbalance in the front legs.
If you can hear the claws on a bear floor then they are too long.
