I does look a lil swollen but far as I can tell she is not in pain because I can put pressure on it and it doesn't affect her. I don't know if she jumped off the bed or couch and hurt it or what...What can I do? I don't want to take her to the vet because I really can't afford a VET visit right now. She is 9 months old |
Hmmm, I would take her to the vet, apply for care credit, and start socking money away cuz these pups are fragile and injuries and illness are usually not something you should wait and see about. However, if you absolutely can not/will not take her right now you must confine her to her crate (which should be an extra small one so that she has just enough room to turn around and stand up) she needs to rest the leg. If in a day or two she is still limping you MUST go to the vet to have her checked out as their are many, many conditions that can cause sudden lameness/and or limping.
Good luck, I really hope your baby is ok.
