I got it checked today, It’s a really bad sprain in my ankle and partly the left side of my foot.
It’s bad bruising too.
How long till it heals.
I can walk, but I limp like a dog.
I use crutches outside of my house.

Dog’s broken leg

I let our little dog chico outside this morning with the big dogs because he had been looking outside and had seen people passing by, and of course heard the other dogs barking, he wanted to go out too. within a few minutes i heard him crying as if he was hurt. we immediately went to bring him in, and my daughter said she had seen one of the bigger dogs standing over him, she thought he may have stepped on chico. he stopped crying, but he is really favoring his left back leg. he’ll take a few steps and then lift it, so i know that it is bothering him. he seems able to bend the leg, and nothing appears to be in the pads of his foot, nothing looks swollen. what should i be looking for and what can i do for him til i’m able to call the vet tomorrow?

Dog’s broken leg.

On Saturday my deadbeat roommates put my dog outside to be chased around the neighborhood by the kids (very mean, Im looking for a new place to live) I have a 8lb Min pin chihuhua mix and he doesn’t bear weight on his back hind leg when on concrete. He walks on it fine when we’re inside on carpet. I’ve rotated it and wiggled each of his toes and he was not bothered by any of that. He doesn’t lick it or show any sort of pain other than just lifiting his little leg. He does have a little cut on the inside of his little paw so I’m wondering if that’s all it is. I’m sure its sprained so what can I do to make him more comfortable?
