My dog suddenly won't walk on her leg. Should I wait or see a vet?

Question

Dolly will not walk on left leg. I have squeezed to find where pain is coming from seems like it is her left shoulder. She doesn't cry. She just will not walk at all she will not even try to walk. Just started. I'm hand feeding and bringing water to her think I should wait a few days maybe just an owie? Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Female | unspayed | 9 years and 5 months old

Hi! Thanks for entrusting us with Dolly’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 her 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. Good luck! Hoping for a speedy recovery!
