My dog jumped off the couch and is now limping. He wont put weight on his front left leg and when I squeeze between his paw and his first joint he cries. Is something broken or just sprained?

Poor Theo. Unfortunately I cannot tell you if he broke or sprained his wrist without an x-ray. I would recommend taking him to a veterinarian for an x-ray. Sometimes the bones do not feel broken but a hairline fracture exist and is only seen on x-ray. Please restrict his activity until he is seen.
