My dogs suddenly developed a limp
My dog has suddenly developed a limp in his front left leg after going for a walk. He was running round chasing after sticks as usual then when it came to walk home he started limping ever so slightly. This then gradually got worse after a few hours until now he's finding it difficult to put any pressure on it at all. I've inspected his paw and leg for any cuts of signs of swelling and everything looks OK. He doesn't appear to be in any pain and still runs up the stairs (albeit on one leg) and is eating normally.
I don't really want to go to the vets as I don't have insurance.
Is it possible he could just have strained a muscle or could he possibly have broke a bone?

if he's not using it at all, it will be causing him pain and discomfort.
he may have just overdone it but it sounds as though he needs looking at
if nothing else he can at least be given some pain relief by the vet.
Unfortunately, being the owner of a pet means you do get vet bills....so please take him to get it checked out.
Vets are soooo skilled and can easily tell if it's a sprian or bruised bone.
