Answer:
Sounds like his leg is dislocated. Vet.
Animals try to hide their pain. This doesn't sound normal. I would tell your mother that this dog needs to go to the vet. Because that sounds really bad. Try to convince her. That's pretty ridiculous if she doesn't though. I'm not an expert or anything but that is just what I think. Good luck.
Try massaging his leg, it might help relax the muscles so they can bend. Also try applying a heating pad for 20 mintutes. If he seems painful freeze water in a styrofoam cup and then peel the edges and massage he leg with the ice. If he isn't better in a week he really needs a vet.
If going to the Vet is not possible. Help make him comfortable. Water, food and companionship. How long was he stuck? Did he yelp or snap at you as you pulled him out?
Your dog NEEDS to see a vet. There is a leg injury. It may be a slipped patella (kneecap) or ACL (cruciate ligament injury) or even a broken bone. Tell you mother, not providing veterinary care for a sick or suffering dog, is DOG ABUSE and she can be fined, if the dog is seen in this condition & reported to Animal Control or the Police. Vets will take credit cards, some take payment plans. If you cannot afford to treat the dog, surrender to animal control may be the best option.
He really should go to the vet, that doesnt sound good!
