Bulldog Limp

Question
I have a 10 month old English bulldog. I have noticed for a few weeks now he has had a limp in his front right leg. It seems to be getting worse everyday. He does not appear to be in any pain at all. He runs and plays normal, but when it comes to walking he limps, badly now. I had him neutered about a month ago. I feed him Nutro large breed puppy food. The only medication he is on his heartgard and he has skin mites, I apply a skin mite cream to a few parts of his back every day. Is this normal?

Answer
Hi Aaron, I would be glad to work with you on supplements and feeding.  The first thing you need is an x-ray to rule out injury.  HOPE it is just a ligament or joint injury.  Have the vet take a x-ray to rule out hairline fracture or other possible problems.  

I have some foods, supplements and vitamins than can help .....
SEE the vet and let me know.
Keep me  posted.
