was he outside at all?
maybe he got bite by something?
when he was jumping did he come down wrong on his leg?
did he fall?
let him be for a little while and let him rest his leg..but if it is still swollen, take him to the vets office...it is just like a child was injured, you let him rest it, and if it is still swollen, take the child to the doctors..same thing with your dog..
if he lets you, see if you can feel the leg that is swollen ( be careful, animals act totally different when hurt to even their masters) and be gentle ans see if you can feel anything broken ..
god luck
good luck

Well the swelling depends on whether it is hard swollen or soft. Abcesses greae an edemic swelling and there is usually a wound on the site. Hard swelling indicates injury to the leg and also an insect or snake bite. Is he walking on the leg?

i am going to consider Pamela and upload that in the journey that your canines is limping or not waiting to placed his (her) weight on it that that is conceivable it would want to were dislocated. it isn't surprising for large solid canines to position themselves in unusual concern only for the exhilaration of doing it ... and that is amazingly conceivable for it to have popped out and good decrease back into socket (I had a Rotty that did that formerly, he replaced into very unhappy for type of a week) in the journey that your canines did dislocate his leg it would want to swell like a sprain to boot as look and act like a destroy minus the obtrusive damaged bones. I malicious program chew might want to go away a mark on the source, so someplace on the leg there's a purple section the position the chew or tick (in a good number of cases purely the top) replaced into. i might want to save giving the meds (they received't damage him) and then perhaps attempt putting and ice p.c.. on the leg. attempt this around the joints as far up because the hip. you may evaluate giving him a salt bathtub to boot. Epsom salt works on canines to boot as people. no matter if that is a sprain than this can help you somewhat with the swelling. observe: do not fill the tube all the way up like you're giving him a bath. about 7 or 8 inches of water contained in the bathtub, only sufficient for him to position down and submerse the leg for a lengthy time period. (him being a mastiffs it is a chore :D) He may be in soreness yet except he's exhibiting signs and indications of being sick then i does not panic. solid success and desire he's okay

It could be anything from a snake bite, to a tick bite, to a something as simple as an injury. The only thing you can do is to take him to the vet. They are the only ones who can tell you what is wrong.

It might be broken, it might be some kind of a bite, it could be a gland problem. Bottom line, you need an emergency visit to the vet!

I would take him to the vet. He could have injured himself, been bitten or stung by something, or any number of things. Only your vet can diagnose and treat him. But I wouldn't wait - it could get worse.
