Answer 2

Large breed dogs are very prone to orthopedic disease. Some of these diseases like elbow or hip dysplasia are hereditary and developmental. X-rays may be needed to determine the cause of lameness. If this is an older dog then bone cancer is also a concern.
Dogs in general can get sprains and strains too that respond to rest and anti-inflammatories. Other injuries that rupture ligaments are more serious.
This dog needs to be examined by a veterinarian to determine the cause of lameness and start appropriate pain medication.
