My dog is limping...what should i do?
He accidentily fell down the stairs...help!
answer: My dogs "accidentally" fell down the stairs a couple times too
Is he in pain, as in crying out or acting differently? Is he putting any weight on the leg he is favoring?
If you think there is any possibility he broke a leg, he needs to be seen by a vet immediately. If he is just slightly favoring a leg and your regular vet is closed, restrict his exercise and get him to the vet tomorrow morning.
Check to see if the bone is visibly broken, or check to see if there is a crack when you feel the bone. if it is, call a vet asap. meanwhile, put the dog on your bed. keep him warm, and give him penty of water.
You can give him an aspirin a 325 mg But no advil or any of those other over the counter pills
You should take the dog to the veterinarian right away!!!
If he doesn't seem better by morning, call your vet. Better safe than sorry.
