Hi! Thanks for entrusting us with Meatball’s care today! Lameness, pain or inability to use the leg can be a sign of a few things that range from a muscle sprain to even a fracture. If things have not improved after seeing your veterinarian, I recommend that you have him reevaluated 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!
