Hey, okay here's the deal...
We had just started our walk when he jumped up suddenly on the leash, got a bit off balance, and landed awkwardly on his left side. I heard him whimper when he hit and then he stood up and had trouble putting weight on his left side, front leg. So, I carried him home (all 47 lbs). Jeez...
Anyway, we got home and he started putting more weight on it. Five minutes later, he is now walking and jogging around but with a touch of a limp. I believe the discomfort is coming from high on the leg, close to his body. I am thinking a "charlie horse" or bruise of some sort. I am thinking if he broke something he would be in much more pain.
Advice or anything? Sorry, I know this is quick and abrupt. Thanks... Charles
