How old is your little one? Our little one fell off the couch when he was 12 weeks old and didnt wimper or anything, but we noticed that he was not walking on it AT ALL! We massaged it, moved it, and he didn't act like it was hurt or anything. We had just recently gotten him, so we were freaking out since he wasn't walking on it. We took him to the vet for an X-ray, and they found a hair-line crack in his bone. They put a splint on it, which he had to wear for 3 weeks, but now he is perfectly fine. The weird thing was that he didnt act like it was hurt, like yours. The vet told us that dogs are pack animals and since the weakest of the pack is usually killed or left behind, dogs tend to hide their pain and weakness. Pretty neat if you ask me. Anyway, if I were you, I would take her to the vet for an x-ray. You definately don't want her to injure it more by trying to walk on it. Who knows, there may not be anything wrong!! But, better to be safe than sorry...like us, not only is she your baby, but you probably paid a pretty penny for her, too! Another thing to consider is her age...I know the younger they are the more brittle their bones, that is why I asked her age. Best of Luck! Hope she feels much better soon! |
