The next day I wouldn't let him jump off the bed, I put him down, he had just a slight limp. In the afternoon I didn't see him on the sofa but saw him when he jumped up, paw up limping. I put cushions on everything he jumps on and closed the bedroom door so he cannot jump down from anything. I did this for a week, then removed the cushions to see how his leg was. The first jump off there was a slight limp, the cushions went back on for 3 weeks. He is fine now but I won't let him fly out of the back door and jump at that lattice. The longer you let your pup rest that paw the better.
I agree. As I mentioned, maya doesn’t jump onto anything, doesn’t climb stairs so basically she just walks around the house. I never teach my yorkies to jump for that reason, I try to avoid leg injuries as much as possible
