Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! There is no home remedy without knowing what is going on. This is concerning though because it could be due to an injury to the leg. I recommend that you have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to check for these possibilities so that therapy can be used accordingly. Best of luck!
