I've got a couple dogs that somehow keep hurting one of their front legs while in the pen to the point they don't want to walk on it,
Their in their own pens with concrete floors and dog wire for the fence......its up around their ankle and not their pads.
Anybody had anything like this happen?

Sounds like they're trying to climb and getting their legs hung up? May try putting them out on a chain or put a hot wire around the pen.

I had one break a back leg, Im guessing from getting it tangled. I "chicken winged" it and she made a full recovery. Put her back in the pen, and when feeding one day I noticed her front leg slip between the gate and latch post. I had to react quick to slip it out because she started flipping out. She limped for a bit then was fine, but I see it as an ongoing issue. So Id have to agree with Mike, and also say that it could be what I mentioned above.

Yea I think they're getting it hung up somehow, I moved both them to chains a couple days ago so we'll see how they do

No, I left an empty pen between the two to rule that out, Their doing better on the chain, they don't seem to be limping around as much so hopefully they'll keep getting better.
