If Bruno was in a car accident or has severely sprained his hind end it is best to seek veterinary care in person. They may recommend additional testing such as X-rays to rule out any more serious issues such as breaks or severe injury to the hind end, back, or legs. Your vet can also provide treatment including pain and anti-inflammatory medications as needed to get Bruno comfortable. Limiting all activity to leashed-potty breaks only can also help until he is examined by your vet.
