Why is my bulldog's other leg stiff with curled toes after surgery?

Question

My English bulldog had surgery on his patella the other leg was fine but after the operation the leg that was ok is now stiff and toes curl up. He sat on his good leg overnight at the vet and I feel that plays a part. I go back Monday we aren't aware right now what's going on. They said they've never seen this before

I could see how the leg could be stiff if he lay on it all night. That happens to me sometimes if I lay on one arm all night while sleeping. It's a good idea to have him checked out by a vet on Monday. Best of luck.
