My male dog won't put any weight on his back left leg. I have looked over everything and there is not a break anywhere that I can feel. No thorns or anything in his pads or bites anywhere or no swelling anywhere.

I'm just wondering if its possible he has sprained a ligament or pulled a muscle or something along those lines?

If he is not better tomorrow I'll be taking a trip to the vet.

Yeah I checked between every pad and I don't think arthritis would be a factor he just turned 2 in july. He acts fine just won't put weight on it. I hunted him friday night for a few hours and he didn't start not putting weight on it till yesterday evening.

I don't know. He may have jabbed one of his pads or something. I can pull and tug on everything but when I get down around his pads he acts like it hurts a little. I'm gonna docotor him up some and see how he is doing tomorrow

No swelling what so ever.

I use a gallon ice cream bucket and put 1 cup of epsom salts in it filled about half way with good warm water. Soak his foot in it for 15 minutes or so a couple times. It will fester out the problem. We have TONS of thorny locust trees here, and that works every time.

It may not be what your dog needs but epson salts works wonders for taking swelling down.Its the first thing i do when a dog has swelling.We have locust trees around here and they are hard on a dog.
