My dog hit his head, now has a lame back leg. Is it connected?

Question

Me and my greyhound bumped heads last night - he was totally fine afterwards but this morning seems a little lame in his back leg, no other symptoms, is it related or a coincidence? Pet's info: Dog | Greyhound | Male | 7 years and 4 months old

Hi! Thanks for entrusting us with Gad’s care today! This may be related. Lameness can be a sign of a few things that range from a muscle sprain to even a fracture. 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!
