MikeyBoy456 0 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 You should really take it to a vets, they will drain it that is your best bet. Asked my sister on this one she's a trainee vet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dingaling 7 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 i would take him to the vet or give him a couple of days to see if the swelling goes down Quote Link to post Share on other sites
midge 1 0 Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 he has had it for bout 3 weeks now the swelling is going down on 1 leg but not the other. I think i will just take him 2 the vet at the weekend. thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ferret1 6 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) Vets is the best option mate if you try you could do more damage than good. It is a bit young to be running a dog as the bones and muscles have nt hardened and form properly yet. Best of luck with it mate.
