Mobility changes: describe what you see
Understanding conditions

Clear observations can be more useful than trying to find a label for a change yourself.

A change in mobility might become apparent in a familiar daily task. When describing it, the setting and circumstances can help: where your dog was, what they were doing and what seemed different from their usual movement.

Those details are a starting point for veterinary assessment and, where appropriate, rehabilitation. A home video may help illustrate a naturally occurring moment, but it still needs context and does not replace assessment. Ask the team what would be useful to share.

QUESTIONS FOR YOUR NEXT CONVERSATION
1. When and where have I noticed the change?
2. What context should accompany a video or note?
3. What should our vet assess before rehabilitation is considered?
