Avatar m tn Hi all, Last night, I was at a party with friends. One of them had brought her dog (greyhound) and it was calm, relaxed and enjoying the company. I got up from my seat and I must have stepped on one of its paws (or part of) because she made a sound and bit my leg. Now, I was wearing jeans and it was a quick bite, more like a nibble, no pain but stunned. Anyways, once I got back to my place I showered, cleaned my leg but found no bite mark...
195500 tn?1257427532 I beleive thats a vet visit for you,, could be tail, hip, leg, or all 3...dogs that carry pain too long can get stressed, stress in dogs causes heart enlargement, also, overtime, if this wound heals on its own w/scar tissue the dog will carry an issue like maybe arthritis, soreness in bad weather, re injure old wounds... I was be safe and take my dog in to the vet... Welcome to the dog forum,,,glad to help in anyway...there are great people here..keep us posted on your outcome...
1323336 tn?1274712771 That age seems to be the WORST for digging. I've had 4 dogs in my life, and the 1 to 3 year mark was always when they insisted on digging. Thank heavens they outgrew it. One thing that actually does help to keep the dogs out of my flower beds is to pitch their droppings into them. Dogs don't like to dig where their own poo lies. Of course, you have to keep up with it.
1340010 tn?1281960420 The thing is the driver only ran over her leg. and the vet says she is fine she is just still in shock and pain. she is eating and drinking now.
536929 tn?1217872077 It was a broken front right leg, both the ulna and the radius, broken in the forearm an inch or two from the wrist. And also, she had some bone(s) dislocated in her wrist. So the vet pushed the wrist bones back into position (I think) and tried to re-align the two bones of the arm/leg, the smaller one went back into position, and the larger one would not. The vet said "it went into position and then it popped out of alignment.
436837 tn?1293793226 I know for a fact it has with my dog. She had a broken leg years ago (in her past life before I rescued her) Since then she has limped, and 'hitched' that leg from time to time, especially when the weather turned damp and cold. I started her with the supplement a few months ago in the Spring. I have not looked back! For testimony, she is leaping over hurdles 3-4 feet tall! She did that same thing today, chasing a flying bird! She took my breath away!
Avatar m tn My 3 lb Maltese broke her hind leg and had surgery. Three pins were put in place to hold her leg together but in a matter of days one of the pins slipped out and she had to have another surgery exactly 1 week after her first surgery. She now has a pin that is sticking out of her hip (about 1/2 inch) to hold the bone in place, eventually the vet says he will remove this pin (the pin could be in place for 4 weeks depending on how she heals).
Avatar f tn 3 days ago I was in the yard playing with my three dogs and I ran in the house to get phone and the one dog left my yard and got hit by car and died. My heart along with my other dogs is completely crushed. I feel so bad. I took my best friend along with theirs away. I'm playing with the other two dogs every chance I get,feeding them more snacks then ever just trying to make them feel better. But on the other hand while I'm doing that at some point I just completely loose it.
675347 tn?1365460645 I can give her a 500mg tablet then, as she is 28lbs. She had a broken back leg about 6 -7 years ago (before she came to live with me) and occasionally it 'twinges' her. Today it did that -she was not as keen to chase the frisbee as she usually is!- and I gave her a homoeopathic remedy Rhus Tox, which seemed to work miracles. I had to run an errand at 2pm, and when I came back at 3.30 the leg didn't seem to be bothering her.
Avatar n tn To start, you feed 2 chews in the am and 2 in the pm for one entire container. Then, taper to one chew in the am and one in the evening. He loves them and he's been normal ever since. They can get pricey, but it's worth the health for your dog. The osteo bi-flex can't be digested properly, it doesn't have the amount of vits they need, and it's just a waste of money. Use them for yourself and try they phycox. We've been using it for 2 years now.
Avatar f tn My kitten I adopted is living in a house with 4 dogs, 2 of them which are very big...and I think that they broke his foot/leg. I talked to a friend, and she said that she could feel popping in her heel when she moved it around, and everytime he jumps off of the counter or bed, he starts moaning really loud. I don't really know exactly what it is that's hurting him, it's been like a month or less since he got it. Do you know what it is?
20790334 tn?1506852360 I was recently in China. When I walked yesterday, I hit a stray dog beside the lower leg. After returning home for a few minutes, I lowered my head and took a sip of my pants. Then I took off my pants and looked at where I was hit. One place is peeled off. I use my nails to peel the skin. It may be rabies now. Should I be vaccinated? PS. When I hit the stray dog, I just thought it hit me, I don't think he bit me .(Because I didn't feel the dog bite me.
Avatar m tn Her energy levels are good and she seems fine other than this large lump that formed overnight. She sleeps out in the barn in deep hay as it is winter here. My first thought was the hay, did a piece of hay get in her eye. I have given her a Benadryl and am not sure what to do next? I appreciate any suggestions. Thank you so much for your help.
Avatar f tn My cat has been hurt, I don't know what happen to him, but he was laying on the steps in the garage and wouldn't move when I let the dogs in, so I pulled him in to the kitchen and got the dogs in. I noticed a few minutes later that the cat had not moved from the spot where I had left him. He was looking at me like he wanted my help and I noticed he was trying to get up but was having a really hard time. He was hurt.
Avatar n tn Now when i carry something in my left hand i loose all felling in my left leg and left side of body. Doctor informs me that plat is still in place. But pain is getting worse. Need advise.
3106038 tn?1346813169 Yeah, I have lots of dogs and one is a pitbull and she is the sweetest thing ever! And we found her walking around with a broken leg. I couldn't imagine how messed up someone has to be to treat a little dog like the way they do before that shelter rescues them.
Avatar f tn Hi, I slipped rather badly in the snow 7 years ago and hit my leg (shin) on the step of the platform of a bus I was getting onto. It hurt and bled rather badly - too painful for me to cry and I can't take a lot of pain! Although it happened a long time ago there's a dent where I injured it and its still bruised. Is it likely I've fractured it and should I see a doctor? I've been getting cold feelings below the area and I'm worried about the dent and bruise.
Avatar n tn Jude is a female mini-dachshund, 5 years old, spayed, overweight at 15 lbs, down from 17. She is on a home diet of roast chicken breast, broccoli, carrot, brown rice and barley. Supplements are omega 3 fish oil, flaxseed oil, bone meal, and bran. It's always bothered me when someone would make her leg twitch (right rear) by petting her in the sensitive area. Of late I can't hardly pet her on the right side without making it twitch, and it's gotten worse.
460185 tn?1326077772 It's strange that the vet didn't explain why NumberNine needed the Clavamox (?) As I said, I'm not sure at all if there is any relation between the cysts and food. My dog has always had occurrences of these cysts as long as I've known her. On one side of her ancestry there is Hungarian Vizsla, and this breed is prone to sebacious cysts apparently, as well as Lipomas(harmless tumors) She has two or three of these too, but they don't need surgery.
Avatar f tn If there is anything I can do for you or you just want someones shoulder to cry on you can cry on mine. Wishing you all the best in your life. I hope our dogs are in heaven knowing how much we love them and miss them and that they were the best things in our lives.
Avatar f tn He said he didnt know we were home which was cr ap because I had lights on, the kids were loud and playing in the living room, and I was doing dishes in the kitchen....so he knew I was home. But im glad I have my kitty lol I just want something that makes more noise and has a more fearsom look lol. The guy said he thought it was a dog which is why he freaked out lol so I went ahead and got me a dog.
Avatar f tn My 10 year old rotti just had surgery for bone cancer in his leg. It had not spread to any other parts of the body but he had multiple stress fractures in the top of his front right leg. Our only option was euthanasia or operate. We decided due to his strength and how young he still acted to operate and try to give him another year or two. He pulled through the operation with flying colours and was doing well post-op. I got a call the next morning that he had not made it throught the night.
