Help very worried. My service dog hurt leg, do I need a vet?
My Furkid and service dog, hurt her leg today! She was running and got it caught it in the rod iorn bakers wrack. She is still crying 4 hours later, and even though she will walk on it, she is crying worse every time and it seems to be getting worse instead of better? How long should I wait, a emergency vet bill I really can't afford. Would she be walking on it at all if it were so badly broken it wolud hurt for me to wait and take her first thing Mon. morning?????? OMG I'm WORRIED sick. The LOVE I have for this dog in like less then 2 mounths is rediculessssssss!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks in advance Jennie |

| I would guess her leg is broken or at least badly sprained. Have you tried putting some ice on it? Is it swollen? Any discoloration of the skin.... it sounds like she needs to go to the vet... I don't think it can wait until Monday if she is in pain. Perhaps the vet will work out a payment plan?
Good luck and please keep us posted. |
| If she's still crying after 4 hours, she's got to go to the vet. Usually they shake stuff off pretty fast so if it's lingering this long, I'd be worried. |
Thank U Both for the response! I did put ice on it for some time. She was such a baby, I had to carry her up and down the only three steps in my house. I barely slept at all, as she got to sleep beside my bed or anywhere she wanted in my room, which usually she is crated at night, because she is still quite a chewer and is now starting to, "What u guys have called, cabnit scarf," she scarfs anything, dressers, nightstands, oh just whatever. Anyway, it was quit a night and today she was still wineing and limping. I was getting really upset and ready to take her to the Vet. when my Yorkie got up, well the chase was on ....  SHE sure had me going, she was getting the treatment of a new born baby, and I suppose just LOVED it!  ! Now I do believe she hurt her leg .... however  she used me.
But all in all, she has calmed down it seems, and we are even a bit closer? Jennie |
I had a similar situation with Frodo when he was stung on his paw by a wasp. He was suffering really badly  Until my daughter came in to take him out in the car suddenly a miraculous recovery  He forgot about the sting and ran out of the door, I guess they just love to play to our pampering
