    Hi Kyko is 17 months old & after our walk at lunch time I noticed his back foot looked strange. It was almost as if he was standing on the back of his back pad instead of his weight being spread out, almost like his toes were in the air. I asked him to come to me & he walked fine but then stood like that again. He hasn't done it again & I can't see any obvious problems. Does anyone know what this could be?

    That happen to my previous lab when someone walked him over a lot of prickly gorse on heathland. I almost took him to the vets but he was ok again the next day.

    we hadn't been anywhere where I would think he could have prickled himself, I've had a really good look at the foot and checked all in between his pads and in his toes & can't see anything. He had been swimming at the weekend in a pool and then the next day we had him for a good long walk so was concerned he'd strained something. Will keep a watch of him the next few days & if it keeps happening I'll pop him down to the vets
