skycat 6,174 Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 The 'bruising' as you call it is probably inflammation around a torn muscle: will take at least 6 weeks to heal. You're doing the right thing by massaging him: just do it gently for a couple of weeks to begin with: every day with a good embrocation. Best of luck in his recovery.
