My puppy is crying, can't walk, and has a swollen leg. What's wrong?

Question

Hi I am really concern about my puppies health, over night he kept crying so I just layed him next to me and then in his bed and this morning when he continued to cry I took him out maybe he needed to pee but then I noticed he couldn't walk and his leg was swollen.

Poor Nico! Nico needs to see his veterinarian today. A swollen leg could indicate infection, a soft tissue injury or even something like a fractured bone. The veterinarian may need to do an x-ray to figure out what is going on. It sounds like he is in pain so get this done quickly. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
