Abstract
This article contains a guide for small animal practitioners to use when confronted with the challenge of diagnosing a forelimb lameness. The examination begins by monitoring the dog at a stance and a visual gait assessment. A hands-on evaluation includes the initial examination, checking for asymmetry and muscle atrophy while the dog is standing, and step-by-step instructions for a thorough forelimb examination.
