Run_Rabbit85 8 Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 took my dog out last night and sum how she clipped a post with her back leg whimperd for afew seconds and started limping. now she can walk ok and seems to be in no pain. iv had a good feel and poke around her leg and cant feel anything to be worried about but add her out this morning for a little walk with a ball and afew treats but will not jump or run. when she does run it is no way near top end more like jogging shes booked in vets for monday as my local vets are shut for some reason do you guys think its just a little nock like a dead leg or sumthing any advise gratefull mick.........

MissRhianL 70 Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Hiya! This has happened to my dogs many of times runnin around after one another not lookin where they r going. To be honest its up to u what u do cause its ur dog but dont spend money at the vets for somethin that will heal by givin rest. If she has knocked her leg u shouldn be lettin her run cause that can cause further injury than where u were at the start. Keep on the lead for a few days wit little sessions of gentle massage an stretchin an give it about 4-7 days an she should be ok as shes puttin weight on her leg already. Its nothin to worry about butty but all the best hope a speedy recovery comes along Quote Link to post Share on other sites
