Avatar m tn Well, since you know who the dog is that helps. Do you know for sure that the skin was not broken? It sounds like if this person doesn't have receipts he probably doesn'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.
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 f tn I rescued a little Chihuahua and named him Gunshot Sam. He had a broken front leg from a 22 gunshot wound. The vet splinted the leg. It was almost 5 weeks when I took him back to the vet because he had chewed his bandages and I thought they would re-wrap the leg. But, when they brought him out, they had removed the splint and had an E collar on him instead. I brought him home. He was on the floor in my living room eating some food.

Avatar n tn my 3month old kitten is favoring his left hind leg. I felt his leg for any unusual swelling or bones that seem out of place there was none. He lets me touch it and doesn't meow or hiss. and he still hops on the furniture to lay down. I think his leg was hit by my front door.
10947 tn?1281404252 My Pit-mix injured her rear right leg on Saturday while playing. I took her to the Vet on Sunday..he fely her leg down..NO YELPING or indication of pain. We agreed to give her medication and wait a few days before doing x-rays (financially smart AND no MAJOR indication of broken bone as she was putting 10% of her weight on it). it is Wednesday and she is still limping..she will 'forget' and occasionally put weight on it. she still limps...
Avatar n tn 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...
774189 tn?1235410421 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?
Avatar f tn 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.
1323336 tn?1274712771 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.
Avatar f tn A few of you asked to be updated on the kitty cat I found (or I should, "Who found us!"). We just got back from the vet. He got vaccinated, medication for an infection in his ears, de-wormer stuff, and x-rays. The x-rays showed a BB pellet lodged in the cat's chest, but that isn't something we have to worry about. But I was absolutely livid inside when the vet told me.
Avatar m tn 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.
1340010 tn?1281960420 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.
Avatar m tn 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?
1206925 tn?1274386227 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?
Avatar n tn It might indicate a strained tendon. If it were a broken bone, she would not walk on the leg at all. When you are looking at her foot, also look at her leg for any possible bites, and also feel her shoulder. So far, it doesn't sound bad. But if you happen to find a bite, get her in to see the vet as soon as possible.
Avatar f tn 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.
1468158 tn?1363026295 My hubby recently saved an abondoned kitten that i am bottle feeding well the things a bit lonely so he brought home an older kitten whos eating kitten chow, he was playing with the older one last night an it started scratching him with its hind legs an he threw it... :( my hubbys never had cats ive tried explaining to him cats cant be trained like dogs. Anyway he reacted an threw it an its hurt. It will not walk on its back leg for anything i feel terrible, im sure hubby feels bad now.
Avatar n tn s unbearable not to want to go home at night. Home is some place you should look very forward to going, and feel completely comfortable while you're there. Or maybe the apartment complex has apartments that are small and they'd let you both out of your lease if you'd move into two separate units? Best wishes.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn s time to walk and appears to enjoy it. Is there any physcial theraphy that I can perform at home, such a leg motion - movement or stretching? Don't know if this would even help. If yes, can you describe motions/excercises to use and frequency/reps.
Avatar f tn 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?!?!?!?!
