How do I treat my dog's sprained leg? General Dog Discussions
I took my dog to the vet yesterday because he couldn't get up from his bed. The vet took X-rays and said that he didn't have a fracture, but that he had badly sprained his (back) leg. He was given a cortisone shot, and then he was sent home. I was told that he would be better in 2 days. Well it's 2 days later and his leg is even worse. I am taking him back to the vet tomorrow to see if I can't get him a brace or wrap. Has anyone else been through this? What should I ask the vet tomorrow? There is no arthritis because they checked through the X-ray. I really want to help him. He doesn't necessarily seem to be in pain, but I can tell that he's scared and he's feeling down. Please help! Any advice will help!
