There could be potentialy other problems. It could be torn ligament (cruciate) in the knee or other soft tissue injury. This will NOT heal without surgery. Your dog is way too heavy too. Thus there may be hair or other bone fractures.
You need to go to the vet!

From my personal experience "limping issue" I gave aleve for couple days (One tablet per day) my male GSD and he was cured after two days.
It's for humans but works for dogs too.

Royal1,
Was this recommended by a vet? I've never heard of such a thing. What dosage? this is a 6 month old pp we're talking about, not an old dog with arthritis. I wouldn't take the risk without a work-up with a vet. You need some indication of what you're dealing with clinically before advising people what to give a dog. It could be pano, growth plate problems, injury and many more things.

I thought naproxen, acetaminophen, and ibuprofen were BAD for dogs!!!

My dog was 1year+ when he had a problem.
I only gave two tablets to resolve an issue.
For 6 months probably one tablet should do it.
That is my suggestion "No Vet"
It worked with my GSD :)
This is not a theory but experience I had with my dog.

An experience that could have been fatal.
One of my dogs once got into a few of my husband's prescription so we went straight to the vet. She was OK and he said that she was better off eating the prescription than tylenol, aleve, etc. Those common OTC meds for humans are NOT appropriate for dogs, especially given willy-nilly without any vet care. A children's aspirin, benadryl...OK but not those other NSAIDS. I can't believe someone would actually suggest it...

" Naproxen (Aleve tm): The published dosage for dogs is 1.1 to 2.2mg/kg given once a day or every other day. Naproxen is not recommended for use in cats. Despite the existence of a published dosage we have seen ulcers in three dogs associated with the use of naproxen by pet owners. While none of them seemed very clear about the dose they were using this has caused us enough concern that we feel that naproxen should not be used in dogs or cats."

Royal, you have given someone advice on an OTC med without a consultation. Others are pointing out that it could be dangerous. If you want to place your own dog(s) in danger, that's one thing. But when you advise someone else to do it, you must think of the consequences. How would you feel if this person took your advice and the dog died because of it? There's no need to get snarky.
