My puppy has a painful groin. How can I get him to walk again?

Question

Hello doctor. My puppy has a redness on his groin area (i think he has bitten by an insect )I give some medicine recommended by his doctor. But he rejects walking and playing because of the pain. What should I do to walk him again? Thank you in advance. Have a nice day! Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | 10 months and 13 days old | 52.9 lbs

I am sorry to hear about your dog! I would ask your vet if they can also prescribe a pain medication for him if he seems very uncomfortable. It also looks like his hair could be matted over the area which can be painful, so he may need to have his vet clip the fur in this area.
