My dog had a similar situation recently, with his leg swelling 3x it's normal size. Turns out there were 2 boils around his "elbow" area on his front left leg. They had to be lanced, gushing infected pus, causing the leg to shrink back to normal size. He had to have painkillers and antibiotics to be back to normal.
Hi i took my dog to vet she has one front leg swollen took her to 2 vets theyre saying shes retaining fluid giving her lasix and prednisone but can see any improvements
