My dog is hurting.
He was fine when I got home and walked/run just fine. Then a couple hours ago he was laying on his side and went to get up and yelped. From then on he's been walking slow and I can't tell if he's hunching his back some or not. I REALLY hope it's not back problems.
He's eating just fine right now. Just walking slow with a slight limp. I hope the vet has an open slot tomorrow. I touched/rubbed all around his back and all his legs. He never gave me a sign of pain. Last edited by Rangerscott; 01-12-2012 at 09:03 PM.. |

My co workers dog just pulled it's back. But you can't give a dog pain meds cause then it will over exert its injury thinking like it feels better. The pain forces them slow down.

My vet has told us to give Manny advil before. In fact, we have doggy pain meds we keep on hand because Manfred plays HARD (as you know). He's pulled muscles playing frisbee before.

My vet has told us that Ibuprofen is not safe for dogs. One of my dogs has pretty bad hip displasia and the resulting arthritis. The NSAIDs we give him are from the vet and specifically for dogs.
