wullieh 53 Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 my jrt pup is 20 weeks old and jumped from the chair and clattered the table with her back leg she gave a yelp and ran lifting her leg but decided to leave he till the next day to see how she was. so this was Sunday it happened and on Monday took her to the vet and got a 3 day course of anti inflammatory tabs she seems more lively again slowly getting back to her old self and is going up the stairs now were she couldn't even make it up one step when it happened. the vet thinks it is bruising and don't think there is anything broken but when she is trying to run I see she is lifting er back leg and not sure if I should wait or take her back to the vet for an xray looking for advice and expected recovery period. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
