Many things can cause this, including traumatic injury, insect bite/sting, behavior, or just like us if they fell on it weird or put pressure on it a weird way. Make sure to feel up and down their leg to see where it may be painful and if you see the cause (such as a grass awn). If so, you can manually remove it, was the area with soap and water and keep an eye on it to see if any swelling, redness or pus oozes from the site in the next 2-3 days. If so, please take your dog in to see their primary care doctor.
