My 4 month old pup got his dewclaws removed (per vet recommendation). He got his stitches removed today and now he's not putting any weight on his hind left leg. I've massaged all joints and checked his paw and there's no problem there. He's overall happy and unbothered but I guess I'm just a worried pet parent. Could this be anything serious since it's just one foot and not both?
