Duane “Dog” Chapman – star of A&E’s reality hit, “Dog the Bounty Hunter” – was admitted to UCLA Medical Center on Saturday and reportedly released after tests for a possible blood clot came back negative.

“[Duane] was admitted for tests for a possible blood clot following an injury he suffered on a bounty hunt,” Beth Chapman (Duane’s wife and business partner) said in a statement posted on Saturday on the reality star’s website. “Duane is in very capable hands as we thank everyone for their prayers.”

Duane was admitted to the ER on Saturday with intense pain in his left leg, according to RadarOnline. The injury was allegedly due to a previous wound, which occurred weeks ago when the long-haired star kicked in a door while on a bounty hunt. The muscle in his leg reportedly separated from the bone, causing internal bleeding, the site claims.

Following his release, “Dog” is expected to attend a scheduled appearance at the Cathedral of Faith Church in San Jose, Calif., on Sunday, according to TMZ.
