What can i do for a limping dog who seems to have hurt herself? General Dog Discussions
I have an eight year old cockapoo. Yesterday my dad was cleaning the floor. My shih tzu lucy lu accidently knocked it over and the whole floor got wet. My dad saw bailey the cockapoo slide on the wet floor. We had to put her outside until the floor was cleaned. I noticed a little while later that she wad limping and then started getting around by kind of hopping on three legs. She has not been whimpering or anything but she wont put weight on her leg for about 24 hours. She has jumped of the couch and the bed without problem. I got her pet asprin at the store but today is Saturday. I don't think the vet will be open on Sunday and after that is christmas eve and christmas day. I doubt I can get her to the vet any time soon. Also because my hours have been drasticly cut at work money is an issue. Is there anything I can do for her besides the nutri vet asprin I plan to give her half of each day. (Half because it is for dogs 50-80ld dogs Bailey is around 30lbs.) Should I have her lay on my heating pad?
