This just happened to my big girl a couple weeks ago. You have to go the vet if they don't put any weight on in the next couple of days as it could be anything from a fracture, a sprain, or a really sever sprain. With my girl it turned out to be a sever sprain, she had to be on meds and rest for a couple weeks, but without meds and rest, it wouldn't have gotten better.
Injured 5mo old lab question
We have a 5 month old lab that has an injured rear leg 
. There is seemingly a knot in the muscle behind the bone that causes him to yelp if he puts pressure on it or if we press down on it. We can freely move the leg in different directions in different positions without causing him evident pain, although, if he moves it or stretches it on his own, it causes him to yelp. He did attempt to scratch his neck with this leg and at first he was fine but yelped when he tried to scratch it faster. Are there any suggestions, aside from a costly vet visit, to aide in the pain and healing process?? Thanks ahead of time for any responses.
