Did You Know? Its a Fact That A Limp Can Mean Lung Trouble Dogs sometimes come to the vet for a limp and leave with a diagnosis of lung cancer. Cancer in the chest can activate the leg bones to grow new tissue -- causing swelling and pain in the legs.

The leg changes -- called hypertrophic osteopathy -- go away once the cancer is treated. -WebMD
