I am sorry to hear about Nitro! I would recommend having him examined by his veterinarian. He could have a simple sprain or strain but we can also have things like panosteitis https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4953019 which can cause lamness in young dogs. Your vet can examine Nitro and may recommend x-rays to evaluate the leg and determine the best treatment for Nitro.
