Firstly.............. if you're dogs suffering, then get it seen immediately..............no excuses

 

secondly........... vets bills come part and parcel of owning dogs.............perhaps you ought to look at pet insurance...... its only about £6 a week.

 

A dogs not like a car that you can garage until you can afford to get it fixed.............the dogs serves you well..........give it the same respect...........

good at getting help on here isnt it josh ....look mate treat it like you would treat our own wrist icey water helps reduce the swelling ...do it regular rest it.. only lead walks till she is putting it down properly ..it will proberly need a good two weeks rest depending on how bad the sprain is as long as she is trying to put it down and you can move the wrist freely it proberly is only a sprain .. a support bandage will help too just make sure it isnt to tight and put it about 4" each side of the wrist to keep it straight till the swelling goes down but when you take the bandage off move the wrist about gently for a good few mintues to stop it seasing up .....good luck josh nice and steady is the key and plenty of rest ...

 

all the best snoop

what the f**k did the dog do and what did they do to the dog for it to cost that much ???

No one, not even a vet can diagnose an injury without seeing the dog !!! Get it to the vets, if you can't afford vet bills, get some insurance, if you can't afford insurance, maybe you should seriously consider not having a working dog, Sorry if this is not the advice you were after, but as long as the dogs work for us, they deserve promt, proffesional treatment when injured. I hope it's nothing to serious and the dog makes a full recovery.

Cheers.
