We would recommend that you have Roxy physically examined by a veterinarian or at the nearest veterinary ER. She may need x-rays of the paw/leg and medications. Those are things we cannot do online, but can be done in a brick and mortar clinic. In the meantime, restrict activity to just leash walks for elimination.
