Dog was fine prior to walk but came back 15 minutes after leaving with dog walker who said she had noticed he had started to limp. Asked her if anything had happened - she said 'no'
Got him an emergency slot at the vets. No cut/ blood / wound / sharp thorn or similar. Vet says either some sort of soft tissue injury or possibly a fracture. Have to take him back starved on Monday morning for x-rays etc if no better by then.
He isn't weight bearing on it, he winces when it is touched etc and I fear it could be a fracture because he is really uncomfortable
Am not implying that dog walker has done something heinous - but suspect she might be withholding info from me. I just can't imagine you can sustain an injury like this (either soft tissue or fracture) without some sort of obvious accident / incident? Surely he must have yelped when he did it....
