Went to the vets and this is her repy.

 

The Arnica 200c is fine and i should give it to her twice a day.

 

She hasnt broken anything, just a muscle strain..rest etc

 

If it is no better by Monday, when i have her next injec, she will do further investigation.

 

But in between now and then i am going up to Swindon to see Simon

glad she has not broken anything :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

If there is a swimming pool nearby,in which you could swim your puppy,you will find this very beneficiall,this will keep your pups muscles supple,and working also will prevent muscle wasteage,I regulary swim injured dogs and this form of exercise is ideal.I wish you luck with your pup

Glad it's not broken. Rest will do her the world of good. Gizmo had the same injury and he screamed the place down, when he was in his cage. We never got much sleep at night, but he is now running about as normal :thumbsup: . It will take a wee while to sort its self out but she will get better

Glad it's nothing serious :thumbsup: Rhus Tox 30c will also help, again twice a day but leave at least 1 hour between that & the arnica. But it will still take time :huggles:

I really hope your little dog will get better soon. Its very clear how much you love your dog and only want to do the right thing. I hope everything is ok soon. :huggles:

I know it is very hard not to worry, but you really just have to relax and let nature do the healing. As the vet said it is a muscle injury and it will take a little while to heal. It cannot be rushed, you just have to be patient and try to keep her quiet while still allowing her some excersise. That is why i suggested a walk on the leash, i did not mean to run her around the block, just walk her in your garden. Of-course it also depends on how much is she actually limping.

Couple of years ago my 2 months old pups chased my cat, she jumped on the sofa and out of open window, the pups followed. One hit a garden bench with her hind leg resulting in green fracture of her tibia. She screamed for about 5 minutes, when the vet came and touched the leg she peed all over him. She really was in pain

And I spent the next 2 months nursing her trying to strike the right ballance between rest (to prevent further damage) and exercise (to stop her muscles from wasting and bones softening). Without writting a very long post it is not easy to explain all this here. That is why the advice given to you seems to you contradictory, when in fact most of us would do more or less the same.

I am sure Bean will be back to normal soon, just make sure she takes it easy for awhile even after she stops limping. Swimming is an excelent idea, but make sure she is 100% dry before taking her out. :luck:

I take her in the garden without tilly, so she can run around and go to the toilet etc.. )

The limping depends on the day time etc, sometimes she puts quite a bit of weight on it, some times its tucked up under her shoulder... could be when im looking :- "

Wheni have a chat with simon i can ask if there is a swimming pool near me. What do you mean by make sure she is 100% dry before taking her out, if she is in a pool isnt she going to be wet?? :wacko: :teehee: :- "

Kim :thumbsup: and Tilly :wub: and Bean :huggles:

 

[*Lesley*]

Now im confused...
First i was told by people on here not to take her back to the vet cause she didnt need to be xrayed and that rest would be good for her. If after a week she was still limping take her back then. Which i am going to do monday

Then someone said give her Arnica 200c (three times a day) Now im not supposed to

To cage her which i am as much as possible

And to speak to a grey hound vet which im doing today

I have come to the conclusion, that there is way to much conflicting advice and i will just post pictures and her adventures and if i need any other advice i wont look here.....

With over 4000 members Kim you will never get one piece of advice,and thats all it is advice not wriiten in stone you can decide to use it or not, people will often tell you what has best worked for them and do so with the very best of intention but that advice cannot replace the advice of a trained vet, sighthound or pet.

If I need advice this is the first place I would come :thumbsup: and if I get 50 pieces of conflicting advice at least I know I'm not alone in what is happening to my dog at the time, that alone makes me feel better

But with the best will in the world I'd still go to the vet if thats what made me comfortable :thumbsup:

I'm so glad Bean problem is getting sorted :luck: :luck: to her for a speedy recovery :huggles:

I'm not having a go Kim just meaning to say that sometimes it makes you feel better just knowing it's happened to lots of people

 

[tinabow]

There is one at Coalpit Heath Kim not far from you at all. It's run by a very nice, knowledgeable man. I took Whizz there as part of his rehab when he was injured last year. Don't worry Simon will tell you if you should swim her or not. He'll go through everything with you and write it down for you.

I think that the other poster meant dry before taking her back outside to your car. :thumbsup:

Part of the problem of having a puppy injured is keeping them from doing too much as they want to play and then make the injury worse again. But puppies do also recover very quickly if you can get them to rest.

Cool thank you :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Its a pain cause if i put her in the cage she screams, if i put tilly in the cage its not fair, if i let them out they chase around, if i shut tilly in one room she cries to come out :rant: :rant:

Not easy at all......
