Hi Tony,
Slight swelling and no pain response doesn’t sound like too much of a long term problem, and is most likely due to knocking the leg on something hard like a bed board jumping in or out of bed.
At the same time it wouldn’t hurt to do some cold water or ice treatment to the area for a couple of days, and to double check the leg after the dogs next run or any vigorous exercise.
Any reoccurrence of the swelling would warrant further investigation and most likely an X-ray to rule out bone damage.
Cheers, Tom
