Came home from work and my mix of everything won't put any weight on his front right wheel. What should I or can I give him? I see some irritation between his toes but I doubt it would make him not put weight on it. He let's me inspect it and doesn't seemed super agitated about it but won't put weight on it. My girls are trying to nurse him back and I'll take him to the vet tomorrow if it persists but I was just wondering if anybody had any tips. Much appreciated. Gracias amigos and amigas.

I bought some dog aspirin from tractor supply I give my dog if he starts acting funny. Hope he gets to feeling better. -
Probably just a thorn or sticker. Can you keep him crated for a day & see if it heals up?Comment

Feel his leg about where his hamstring would be. Compare to the good leg. There is a small node they have there that can become infected. No vet here - but my rescue has this and I could feel the small swollen node. Vet has her on shots every other week for 12 weeks @$120 each shot
Edit - mode was swollen about the size of peanut on my dog.Last edited by StrayDog; 07-23-2015, 06:54 PM.Comment

If it was hurtin him too bad he wouldn't let you monkey with it. I'd just let him do his thing and I bet a dollar it works itself out. Dogs are un-believeably tough, especially mutts.Comment

How much does he weigh?? You should give him ibuprofen may have swelling somewhere.Comment

he's prob 50lbs built on a basset body with a pit head. Too Short is his name.Comment

You can give a dog aspirin but ibuprofen and Tylenol are too hard on their livers.Comment

Mine would not put her's down for a while after she got stung by a yellow jacket. I knew for sure that was what happened. I gave her some bynadryl(sp). Next morning all was fine.
Plenty of bugs in the grass right now to sting them.Comment
