Swayng is unusual and not generally associated with an injury to the leg. When pets injure their legs, they limp or don’t bear full weight on the injured leg. Swaying Is usually considered a neurologic condition and much more concerning. This can indicate a problem with balance. If this is what you are seeing, I recommend to have Ziggy examined by the veterinarian today. The doctor will check his nervous system and his ears for any obvious causes. Other diagnostics may be indicated. I hope he starts feeling better quickly and please feel free to post any additional questions.
