Hello,
I took Dutchess to the vet and she was given Medcam for one week.
After that we are going to do an e-ray. But the medication is working well,plus she is not sleeping with us up-stairs. so no stairs for her.I am now also giving her sosme supplement.
bye.

Hello Monica, and welcome to the Dogs community.  :-)

Dogs tend to be a great deal more stoic about pain than humans.  They feel pain, but they don't scream and yell like people do when they're hurting.

Your dog obviously has a big problem with that leg, so a trip to the vet is necessary.  Since it's already been a few days, it isn't going to just go away without some kind of medical help.  At the very least, anti-inflammatory medications will be needed.  Please don't let your dog hurt any longer and try to get the problem diagnosed and treated as soon as possible.  :-)
