A dislocated hip is extraordinarily painful to put weight on, so your cat will be "three-legged lame" - walking but not putting weight on the leg with the dislocated hip. The hip area will also look different as compared to the normal side. Final confirmation will be made by a veterinarian after a physical examination and hip radiographs (X-rays).

A puppy's leg may not be dislocated if you don't feel anything out of place and it looks normal, but it may still be injured. Your puppy may just have a sore muscle, but she may also have a broken bone or other damage. Take her to a veterinarian if she continues to limp.

It hurts. You can't bear weight on the leg. You cannot walk - your broken leg will trail behind you. The biggest indicator however, is that you cannot bear weight on leg that is broken. There are a number of other allied symptoms depending on how bad the break is and where it's located - which will probably be obvious to you.
