It's been 3 days and he's still not ok, he walks very funny and due to him hurt his paw we haven't been able to take him out so he's been inside for 3 days now without a walk.

What happened? I'm not sure, I let him in the back garden by himself so he could have a wee and what not, he can't get out and there's no other dogs or cats, he came back inside after a while we noticed he had a bad leg, he has nothing on his paw that would be causing him pains, and there's no bruises, there's no signs that he hurt himself but he's walking funny.

What should we do? Take him to the vets because he has a bad leg? Or is there another way? Give him more time?

Thinking if this was Rocky he would be visiting the vet, yes I know they can hide pain but they should not suffer in silence either. If your child was hurt they would be to the doctor at least. Afford your dog the same compassion.

I'd be off to the vet too I'm afraid , better safe than sorry , especially since you don't know what he has done

Yeah, if you don't know how he did it, better to take him to the vet sooner rather than later and risk it being worse. In my opinion, anyway.

If he lets you feel around the leg without yelping he probally just strained a muscle. Let him rest and than slowly go back to normal. If it gets worse or lasts more than a week than I'd go to the vet
