Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Oreo having this problem. The best advice I can give you is to call the veterinarian who treated Oreo. Only they know exactly what was performed and what treatment was given. If his leg doesn't get better quickly, consult your vet and follow their emergency directions if they are closed. Not sure what is going on without knowing more and being able to examine Oreo. This problem could be associated with some trauma or something else that is affecting the leg such as pain or inflammation from an injection he received. I wish you the best and wish I could provide more info but the best course of action is outlined above. Good luck with Oreo. I hope he gets better soon.
