Answer #1

Well my grandmothers dog had the same problem, something was stuck in her paw pad, and she was bleeding. So we took her to the vet. Or your dog could just have broken or sprained its leg. Either way, go and check at the vet.

Answer #2

I think that your dog somehow broke his leg. The best thing that you can do is wrap the leg up in a HOT rag or towl and prop it up. Then as soon as possibe take your dog to the vet.

hope this helped

Answer #3

Check her paw. Maybe there’s a rock or something stuck in it. Or maybe she jumped off of something and sprained it.
