My puppy is limping and won't put weight on his leg. What's wrong?

Question

My puppy Blu will not put any pressure on his left hind leg or attempt to walk on it. His leg is sensitive to touch or pressure. Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Male | unneutered

Dr. Davis · Accepted Answer

Unfortunately he is very lame. This could be a knee injury or infection. Please take him in tomorrow to have this examined. They will feel it and do an X-ray if needed. They will give him pain medication also. In the meantime keep him confined and take him out on a leash to potty only. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Blu.
