Old dog with sore leg.

My old dog was having a small fight with my other dog over food. Anyhow she hurt her leg. Shes just hopping along on three legs now, keeping the other in the air. This happened last night. The odd time she does stand on the leg but doesnt walk.
I can't bring her to the vet untill tomorrow, as my brother has exams today and he cant bring her untill then.

Just wondering, what will the vet do? With her age (her being 11/12) will it make any difference?

I don't think it will make a difference. They will just give her an exam and see where the pain and or damage is and take it from there. The only way it might make a difference is if her leg is broken and they think because of her age it might not heal normally. If she can put weight on it it's most likely not broken, so it could be she just pulled a muscle or tendon.
