Leg seems sore.

    Leg seems sore.

    I'm watching my mom's great dane for a little while and while i was mopping the floor he walk on the wet floor and then chased after one of my dogs and slipped and fell on his right hip.  He isn't limping but his leg looks like it is a little sore.  I have no problem in taking him to the vet but should i wait and see if he just bruised it or take him to the vet.

    big dogs and mobility issues should be evaluated and monitored by a vet in my opinion

    i'd give him at least 24 hours..

    I thought i would post a little update.  I called my mom like any good pet sitter would do and she said he had done it on her hardwood floor before.  I just let him rest up and went without the nightly walk and he was still a little sore in the morning but by that afternoon he was back to his same old self.  I think he just bruised it like if i had fell on the floor.  I added some runners so he has some more traction on the floor and he seems fine.
