labs runny nose

Question
Hi I have a 10 1/2 mo. old black lab. weighs in at 87 lbs. This morning she awoke limping, I have checked her front legs, but no pain or discomfort. She also has a runny nose, sre they related? She went to bed just fine.

Answer
It's hard to say for sure if they are related, but my guess would be no.  If she continues to limp I would definitely take her to your vet so they can do x-rays.  In the mean time just make her take it easy for the next couple of days (not easy with a 10 month old lab I know) and see if that helps.  If she's not having green or yellow discharge from her nose or a lot of sneezing, then I wouldn't worry about that too much.
