Charlie hurt his foot, he's limping but not crying

[Nikki & Charlie]

I don't know what happened. He hurt his foot.. He was running around on the grass for the longest time and then he started limping and now he won't walk. When I do try to make him walk he limps and won't put pressure on his foot. I looked to see if anything is stuck and I can't see anything. I tried pressing on his foot and leg to see if there's a tender spot and I don't see anything. Should I wait to see how he feels in a bit? I'm worried .. He isn't crying or anything

I also want to add that when I touch one of the nails/toes on the injured foot, he gets mad and growls and bites me but if I touch the other foot he's fine. Right now he's laying in his crate. I'm not going to be home tonight or tomorrow during the day... I'm wondering if I should wait to see how he feels tomorrow?

he may have landed on it wrong or stepped on something like a rock and bruised his foot. give him some time to rest. my have was running like crazy and slide, he hurt his back foot. he was fine the next day.

I ended up taking him to the vet two days after... turns out he broke his toe! Poor guy. He's on pain medication and the vet is just letting it heal naturally. It's been exactly a week today that this happened, and hes running around as if nothing is wrong. I'm wondering if maybe they misdiagnosed him, because he does not seem to be in any pain lol. But i'm happy he's okay and it was nothing worse.

Gibbs hurt his foot a couple of months ago and was also limping pretty badly. I found that he had a very tender toe that he did not want touched at all. I took him to the vet and he had torn the toe nail away from the base. We got antibiotics and the vet wanted a recheck in a week. We took him back and he had fluid behind the nail and he had to have surgery and have the nail removed. It was an awful 2 weeks with wrapping of the foot and him sneaking off and removing bandages. His nail has grown back in and all is good. I think a trip to the vet might be good to do. I would keep him quiet until you can get it checked out.

Ouch that sounds sooo painful. Poor guy. I'm glad he's doing better! I ended up taking him to the vet two days after... turns out he broke his toe! Poor guy.

Hi Nikki ~ Our Charlie ran to the door to meet my husband and by the time he came around the counter in the kitchen he was limping and crying. Of course it was a Friday night!  He laid around all night and the next day, but seemed a little better, but did not put weight on that leg.  I took him into his vet on Monday morning and after examination, she said he either cracked or broke his outer toe on the left hind leg.  She recommended letting him rest for a few days, and if he did not start using it by Friday, she would x-ray for a break.  Two days after injuring it, he gingerly started using it and by Friday and was walking great and wanting to play ball.  We went to the vet for a check up on Friday anyway and he was ok with her examining the sore toe area, so she gave him an ok to start playing.  We were so relieved.! 
Since you were outside, I wonder if he stepped on a wasp, or something!  I would not encourage him to walk, let him take it easy and if he is not better by Monday, get him in to your vet asap.  I hope he feels better soon.

I'm glad he's okay! Funny thing is that is exactly what happened to Charlie. I took him to the vet two days later and she xrayed his foot... he also broke his outer toe on the left hind leg lol. However it's been 5 days since the vet visit and he's running around and not walking. I might call the vet next week and see if she will recheck him, because she said to keep him quite for a whole month!! It's been a week of no walks and he's going crazy lol.
