Your dog may have a hip problem or a ruptured cruciate ligament, or something stuck in his paw. Please thoroughly check his paw, inbetween the pads for a thorn or other foreign body and remove it, if you can. If you cannot find anything or if you cannot easily remove a foreign body., please take Your dog to a vet before the Easter weekend for an exam and x-rays and pain medication.
