Vet Dr. Patrick McHale provides dog leg limping and sprain treatment tips from the http://www.dog-health-guide.org/limpi.... Symptoms of a dog sprain include limping, obvious pain or avoidance of jumping up into a car or onto a person. Problems such as dog hip dysplasia cause alot of pain and are more noticeable. Dysplasia causes a lack of coordination in the hind legs.

It is often hard to determine exactly what is going on with just a physical exam. To locate the exact of a limp, wrist or paw sprain an X-Ray is often needed. In younger dogs sprains can be caused by vigorous play such as jumping up and down.

If not too serious they could take some time to heal with some cage rest. Pain can be reduced with steriods. A big or serious fracture is easier to diagnose. Fractures in the ankles can be in one of a series of bones. If not fractured or broken then the leg is probably sprained or strained.
