My dog is limping and miserable after a bath. Is it serious?

Question

Just yesterday morning my 1 year old female boxer,pitt, english mastiff mix started favoring her back right leg. There is no visible wounds on that leg. Gave her a bath yesterday and now her skin on her legs seem to be very dry hot water was not used it was luke warm. Not sure what to do she looks so miserable today had to carry her out of bed today all she has been doing is laying around she's been eating normal and going to the bathroom normal as well. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | unspayed

I am sorry Pretty is not feeling well. My biggest concern would be that Pretty possibly injured her ACL or meniscus in her knee. I would recommend limiting her exercise and keeping her calm. However if she is not feeling well I would take her to a vet for a good physical exam and possible x-ray. Dogs can break a bone, tear ligaments, and have soft tissue injury which can cause limping. I hope Pretty feels better soon
