Hi! Thanks for entrusting us with Phat boy's care today! Lameness can be a sign of a few things that range from a muscle sprain to even a fracture. I recommend that you have him evaluated by your veterinarian so that this can be further assessed which will likely include radiographs. Treatment will be dependent on findings though at the very least pain control medications can be prescribed. You could perhaps check with another veterinarian for another examination. Good luck! Hoping for a speedy recovery!
