It is always something....:rolleyes: Troy came home to Heartly waiting for him out by the fence last evening, to find him only able to use three legs. This morning he is still the same, so we will most likely have to make a vet run. We have looked all over his paw and run our hands up and down his leg & shoulder and cannot figure out what happened.He did not whimper when it was manipulated. If there was something in it, like a splinter, he would be licking it, but he just won't put weight on it. There is no swelling,no blood, nothing. Troy was very upset seeing him this way. My poor baby..:( {ies;)}

Oh no!! Sending Heartly many hugs, snuggles and kisses :hug8:

Is he putting any weight on the fourth leg at all?

Was he outside when your husband got home? Could he have been bitten by something?

Does he let you bend his knee up and down, and his hip?

Yes, he had been outside. The vet's office suggested a bee bite..but again...if there was something superficial he would lick lick lick. Yes..I totally manipulated it in all directions...nothing, no swelling...zip!

Awww poor Heartly:(. Is he an older dog? Possible arthritis? The vet will be able to give you a true answer, rather than our suggestions..but they do help, while you wait!! Please keep us posted and let us know what the diagnosis is. Hugs and kisses for Heartly!:hug8::heart:

Poor Heartly. Lots of good thoughts for him. My dog used to do that and had similar problems, but it was with her hind leg and it was because her knee had issues if I remember right.

Thanks everyone! I really think it is more a matter of he gets excited sometimes, and does not pay attention to what he is doing. He does things like shove his foot in the fence, busts a nail,or jams his shoulder. This is the front leg, and he is only a few months past 5 yo.
This time it just has us stumped because there is nothing visible.:confused:

Oh no! My poor handsome boy! Carole, do you think it could be a fire ant bite? You said a lot of them were out and he likes laying in the lawn. Sending him big :hug8: and love!:heart: I hope he feels better soon.
