Hi! Thanks for entrusting us with Pukui's care today! Lameness can be a sign of a few things that range from a muscle sprain to even a fracture. The swelling could be due to inflammation, growth or infection though it is likely unrelated to what is going on with the leg. I recommend that you have him 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!
