broken leg on dog

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).

Did the Vet mention what type of therapy? Since this is a small dog, I thing aquatic therapy would really benefit her and you should be able to use your bathtub. Ask your Vet if you can do that. Hard to explain in depth here, but look it up on the Internet.

and he needed an amputation for one front leg and a complete reconstruction on one rear leg because the bullet went through the front leg and shattered the back leg. It set my mom back over $5k! Either way it sounds like your little baby is going to do fine!

While sleeping in the night, she has been screeching / crying for around 3-5 minutes 2. Over the past week her right leg has been getting worse, she can only walk on 1 leg and limp (as if her leg / paw is fractured / broken / arthritis?) 3. While sitting by herself, she will start to screech - without any human contact 4.

Honey, You gotta train your dog!! You know what you could do? You could post about it on the dog forum so they give you tips on how to train a dog to leave a cat alone. I can't remember any tricks :( It's been a long time since I have owned a dog, like 9 years. The last one was a German Shepherd and she got along with the cats pretty well.

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 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.

They certainly help my dog, I can vouch for that. She has been on them now for 2 years. 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!

If you have any blood on you or got saliva from the dog on you then you need a rabies shot. You get rabies from the dogs saliva. I think you should see a doctor for their opinion.

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?

the person drove off. The person living with us found her brought her inside. she has a few cuts on her leg but battling to walk.. and not EATING or Drinking. i have to force feed her... she also now keeps lying in the garden by the plants. she has never done that, but if im looking for her that where she will be... if she is the same tomorrow im taking her to the vet.. But is this normal. im worried about her.

Then he was not putting his back left paw down. I tried massaging his leg and to put his leg on the groud. He was able to stand there with all paws on the floor but when he walks he only using one back leg. Hes been just laying down , trying to sleep. Not sure what to do since I dont get paid til friday so vet isnt an option right now.

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?!?!?!?!

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.

my Smitty(JRT) has broken a front toe nail and the only thingholding it on is the flesh nside the nail. the break is very close to the base of the nail. it is not bleeding and the nail is flopping around. he licks it a lot and keeps it clean. this day two since the break. should I wait for it to fall off? and how long will that take? or should I clip the soft tissue to remove it myself then medicate the stub?

My dog Charlie is about four or five years old and we're unsure of his breeding because he's a rescue dog. He is a medium size dog, about the size of a collie but shorter in the leg. Over a period of several weeks I've noticed a change in his mobility, particularly when ascending the stairs, getting up from a resting position, and sitting down. His right back leg appears quite stiff after resting and when he gets up he has to stretch it out behind him before setting off.

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.

Hello. Cute little dog you have. Well, I'm not sure I am understand this right but seems he has problems with the leg/foot that was broken? I would think, the only you can determine what is going on for sure is take him to the Vet (possibly another one or an Ortho Vet if you have one in your area) and get an x-ray on that leg to see if they can see what's going on for sure. Other then that, no way to tell. I had a puppy break a leg years ago and had it casted but it stayed on!!

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!

My dog Champ who is a yellow lab is 7 years old. He has a lump on his back leg, like on his hip. It is the size of a golf ball, it seems a little swishy but I am not for sure. I noticed it about 1 month ago and just didnt think anything of it, thinking it would go away, well its not gone. He has an apt. this Friday with his vet. I am wondering what it could be, the first thought that comes to my mind is cancer! I am wondering if there is anything else it could be?

Age: 24 Sex: F Height: 5'9" Weight: 158lbs Race: White Duration: Unknown Location: MI, U.S.A, leg/knee Relevant medical issues: N/A Current medications: Tylenol 3, Buspar I was playing with my dog and I jumped onto the couch. He came up with me, so when I jumped down, he lept after me and I tripped over him. I fell to the floor and momentum caused me to slide right into the wall, my entire weight scraping my knee and smashing my right leg into the corner.

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.

What kind of dog is your puppy and what size? Do the other's wrestle with him? Are they much larger? Have you seen him get hurt by the other dogs before? Anything else? Is he limping? Has he pooped today? How bout yesterday? What did it look like? More info. would be helpful..... No, I don't think his tail is broke.........

My experience on this...if a dog leg break, or knees problems, not all vets have the experience to perform the surgery needed to heal properly... I had a dog, who had your dog's issue, I followed the direction of my vet too like you..
