pcarr Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 hi everyone, my 8 month beagle puppy was outside in the rain (going to toilet), when we heard her yelp she hasnt been able to weight bear on her back leg since, it is has been a couple of hours - and although she is limping, she doesnt seem to have any pain, i have poked and prodded the leg looking for any sign of injury - but couldnt find anything - she just cant put any weight on it the vet is closed until 2pm, but i am so stressed for my puppy, any ideas on what might have happened??

persephone Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 If you are concerned, a vet visit will help you She may have just pulled a muscle- she may have done several things.... either confine/rest her and see if it improves, or take her to the vet this afternoon, so you know exactly what is happening..... Hope it is something simple and easily fixed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcarr Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 just got back from the vets - she has probably done the ligaments, he has given her painkillers and anti-inflammatories and wants to see her again in a few days, may need to have surgery, but hopefully not he said it is unusual injury for a young dog to do this type of damage, more common for old dogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gareth Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 (edited) she has probably done the ligaments What does the vet think she has "done" to the ligaments? Edited November 7, 2009 by gareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
