I don't know if this is the right area for this, but I figure I would post it here.

Last night our three month and three week old puppy decided to be like her sister and jump off our bed. We think she may have landed wrong or missed the blankets because she started to cry and then wouldn't walk on her front paw. After getting her to calm down, we let her sleep on our bed and she didn't move hardly the whole night. This morning, she seemed the same. She still won't walk on her paw. She at first, wouldn't let us even touch it, but now she lets us touch it and press on it a bit. It doesn't feel broken to my fiancé so he thinks she may have bruised it badly. I want to take her to the vet, but with the prices these days and the fact that our vet wouldn't be able to get us in until tomorrow, were thinking maybe if we just try and keep her off her paw she might get better. I don't know if this has happened to any of your puppies, but if it has, do you have any advice? I know taking her to the vet would be the best thing, but like I said ,they can't even get us in until tomorrow.

Thank in advance.
