One of my dogs is hiding under the bed and not putting any weight on her rear left leg. She allows me to touch and palpitate the area but cries when I try to lift her paw to test the joint. She is eating and drinking normally and I have given her tramadol for pain. Is it more likely a break, or just bruised and possibly sprained?

My 8-month-old 10-pound poodle came inside with a dead mouse in her mouth. The mouse had been dead for a while. She is acting a bit off now and breathing more rapidly than usual. She is eating okay and has just had a normal bowel movement. I'm worried and the vet is closed. What should I do?
