Yes, it's possible that a pinched nerve or even a herniated disc in the lower back could cause limping or inability to bear weight in the right rear leg. Orthopedic issues such as a torn cruciate ligament (ACL) should also be considered. I would recommend having Bruno examined by a vet to help determine what is causing his lameness.
