I just went through this at Christmas. We went with the plenty of rest option and it took about a month before he could put any weight on it. I took him to the vet the next day and the doc said he figured it was a really bad strain as the slip or drawer test he did still felt tight so I didn't bother with X-rays. For those who have a GWP you know how difficult keeping a dog of this caliber still for even ten minutes can be. As of today you would never guess he was injured but his training is still very limited until I feel it's time to start again. We are slowly working up to it. Sorry to hear about your dog.
