broken leg dog first aid

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.

I was in a half cast, basically on the back of my leg and below the foot for a touch over a week, so I was unable to move my ankle and leg and was on crutches. Then 2 days ago I went to the outpatients department and the doc took the cast off me and told me to start walking on it with the aid of crutches as it isn't the weight bearing bone. He said that the bone will heal by itself without the cast and even with me putting a bit of pressure on it.

t vaccinate his dog regularly. If there was blood and the dog got saliva in the blood in your leg (if the skin was broken) you are at risk. But, you can call the police and have them make the guy monitor the dog for 10 days for symptoms and call the animal control about it. They will tell him the symptoms to look for in the dog. If the dog has no symptoms you will be ok. but then by the time you develop symptoms it is too late (there is no treatment at this stage).

My dog sanderalla she is a poddel/poddel tarrier. Just over night she was sleeping under our big dumpster and the next day after i got out of work i keepted looking for her and about 1 hour later i seen her draging her but i went out to ger her and notested she was draging her back ledges. she dont seem to be in and pain she is eating and dranking and potting. I felt the ledes and i felt no broken bones i squzed her feet she polded it back but i thank she only feels pressure.

Last night we opened our backdoor to find a stray kitty (adolescent male). I noticed he was malnourished and gave him some milk and chicken (all I had for an animal). Then I noticed he was favoring one leg. I think it might be broken! I've called a few places and no one wants to deal with him, of course. They're just going to want to euthanize him instead of help him. So my question is this--- what do I do?!?!?!?!

Is he holding the leg up or is he actually dragging the leg? Here's what to do: Stand him up on all four legs...Turn the bad foot under where he's standing on top of the paw....See if he can flip it back to the correct position.....If not: Read further..... This sounds like a disk injury to me......Google IVDD (Intervertabral Disk Disease) and read about it...

MY DOG ATTACKED MY CAT TODAY AND MY CAT IS LIMPING BUT SHE STILL WALKS ON HER LEG AND WAS CLEANING HERSELF DO YOU THINK SHES GONNA BE OK?

My own dog took this after a broken leg and it did her so much good. In damp weather she had started to favour that leg a little sometimes. As soon as she took the Glucosamine/Chondroitin supplement, it took about one week to see a great improvement. After that, she had no more trouble with that leg. She weighed 30lbs, and the correct maximum dosage for her was 500mg Glucosamine and 200mg Chondroitin once daily.

I think I will just out wait Sasha, I think she will stop digging when she gets a bit older. I HOPE. She has a broken leg and I thought that with her back leg broken she would not dig. No such luck. Once again thank you.

She used to limp very slightly on a back leg which was once broken when she was younger. The vet said she would probably grow to develop arthritis in that leg, and it did seem things might be going that way, as any change in the weather to dampness, had her 'hitching' up that leg sometimes. Since starting the Glucosamine/Chondroitin supplement, she has not even done that once! My dog weighs 28lbs and the maximum dose for her is 500mg Glucosamine and 200mg Chondroitin.

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.

No because she just got knocked apparently.. and she has medicine that i have to give her yes. and i have to clean her leg twice a day.but she will be ok. she has a bandage on her leg.

My dog has allergy and now she developed a black/dark brown thick and rough crust just superficially attached to the skin. It's about 2cm diametre on the leg near the armpit. It is broken on the side and when I try to open slightly, is easy to see that will hurt/bleed. Does anybody could give me some advice?

Can you determine that the leg isn't broken? Will he let you move the leg at the hip joint? If he isn't acting like he is in severe pain, will eat and drink. I would try keeping him quiet and only take him out to potty. You know your dog best so you would have to make a judgement call as to if he needs the Vet.

A few moms have told me they take benadryl in their 3rd trimester to help them sleep they said their doctors approved it for them. I'm weary about taking any medication while.pregnant. I'm 33 weeks and get maybe 4 hours of.sleep a night, broken up. Falling asleep takes hours. I'm not in pain (provided i dont roll over lol) but I'm extremely irritable and itchy. I have restless leg syndrome too. I cant take another night like this. But again, I'm scared to take it.

I lost my dog Jeffie almost a year ago after a routine cataract eye surgery. My Dog Jeffy was like my son I miss him and I have another dog that is still alive my little girl Buddy. My dog Jeffy died about an hour after surgery while he was recovering in I.C.U. It is a horrible tragic loss. I know the pain is tough and it really can be a nightmare. I want you to know that you are not alone and there are animal lovers out there like myself wanting to be your support group.

Me and my fiance own a 12 month old Rottie whose developed a heavy limp in his front left leg yet the vet can't find anything physically wrong with any of the joints in the leg. It's got us confused, could it be psycological because he was 4 months old when we got him and we later found out that the previous owners had been arrested a few weeks later for breeding dogs for illegal dog fights. Could it be an old wound from early puppyhood that healed well physically but not mentally?

Massage will definitely help him. And I have not known a dog yet who didn't love a massage. All I know about Glucosamine is from personal experience with my own dog years ago. She'd had a broken leg some time before, and was starting to favour that leg sometimes, especially in damp weather. The vet said we could expect that she might develop arthritis in it. I started her on Glucosamine/Chondroitin (500/200mg respectively, daily as she was approx.
