This is the carpal bones of the front legs of the dog. There are 8 bones located here and have tremendous stress placed on them during running and jumping. If they get stuck in movement it can cause lameness. Your vet will not typically pick up on this since it is slight and they are not trained to palpate these joints in that fashion. Once your vet has cleared your dog of other issues be sure to contact the animal chiropractor that can adjust this area and correct the movement problem.
