Our black lab Marley has a swollen right leg and has trouble sitting up after she’s been laying down. She’s about 13 years old. What should we do? She has never had any issues before.

It sounds like Marley is painful if she is having trouble sitting up after she has been laying down. She could have injured her leg leading to the swelling, or it could be something more serious such as cancer. I'd take her into a vet immediately to get checked out.
