- If you’re wondering if you should bring your dog to a vet, Veterinarian Ray Spragley advises to “make sure they’re eating and drinking [and] note what seems to be bothering them and see if it’s improving over 24 hours. If they’re reluctant to eat or limping, and it doesn’t seem to be improving over time, you should contact your veterinarian for support.” [9] X Expert Source Ray Spragley, DVM
