:( My Poor Puppy

edited April 2009 in General Discussion
I let my dog Keilah outside last night for a pee, and then just as she was coming back to the door my cat zipped out, and Keilah chased her for like 3 seconds and then I heard a YELP! <br>I turned on the light to see what just happened and she was standing there. I'm like, "Keilah, come." She was limping. :( So she limped up the 2 stairs and I took her leg and moved it gently at the shoulder, then at the carpal, then the feet, and everything seemed ok, but obviously it wasn't. So I gave her a bone and prayed everything would be ok in the morning.<br><br>In the morning she was lying down and I tried to make her get up but she couldn't, so I slipped my hand under her and tried to help her but she squealed (she no likey being picked up).<br><br>So she's like, limping majorly but we don't really have the finances to go to the vet. :| So ugh this is dumb. And she's not a small dog either, she's a Dane/Lab cross about 90 lbs.

  • She might have a ruptured ligament [SP!?!?] because that's exactly what happened to my dog, she was chasing my cat down the path and the EXACT same happened to her, except my dog later did the other back leg in as well :/<br><br>I'd try take her to the pdsa - or whatever you have there? which is a vet service which doesn't cost; only take donations.<br><br>Good luck :/ Hope I helped slightly :[[ <br><br>It's awful watching them in pain :(

  • This is what happened to my dog and we got surgery for it in November and she is still healing. The wound is still there and she still limps, but she won't have any leg problems when it fully heals. If you don't get it fixed it can lead to serious arthritis when they are older.
    Please PM if I win anything.
  • She is older..... she's almost 11. My Dad won't pay surgery to get a sore knee fixed... I wouldn't get surgery to get my knee fixed if it hurt because I stepped on it wrong.
