I am new to this forum! I alway come here for answers but today I couldn't find mine! My husband and I have 2 yorkies, Charlie just turned a year old Tuesday and Bentley is five months.
We were visiting NY this past weekend and my friend's toddler, out of nowhere, ran over to and tackled Bentley.
He cried for five minutes and then settled. In the morning we took him to the vet to have an X-ray bc he was not walking on his leg still(back, left). It was negative, meaning nothing is broken. They have him pain meds for two days and he started letting it down a little more and more. He walked on it maybe half a day and occasionally here and there. But he's not showing any real improvement in use.
I can wiggle and push and pull on it and he does nothing. No sign of pain. But he still isn't walking on it. Could he be faking or milking it out of fear? I called the vet back in FL, where we are and that they always see, and they don't really have anything to say except bring him in. I get frustrated by just taking him there for nothing but pain meds bc it's obviously not hurting that badly when I push and pull.
Any advice on healing times or what the next step should be? Is it possible he just has a muscle memory or is just scared?
His energy level, eating, playing and popping are all completely normal. We are having a difficult time keeping him from wrestling with Charlie.
