Help sprained/broken paw during BLIZZARD!

[Verodoll]

Aww thank you <3

Her paw is still hurting quite a bit. She's not walking on it....but I can imagine it would be hurting a lot because of all the touching she went through yesterday to take the x-ray.

She seems ok....I can't wait until she feel better!

[JERSEY BOY]

Awwwww I'm sure she will be feeling better in a few days I am so glad it wasn't broken.

[Verodoll]

Me too thank God!!! I feel sooooo bad watching her walk on three paws....though honestly, shes escaped me and runs just as fast as when she is on all four. She's really playful lol.

[JERSEY BOY]

She sounds like a little doll!

Are you sure he didn't say give her Baby Aspirin? Low dose aspirin can be safely given to dogs.

Here's a list of OTC meds that can be given.

Thank you for the link.
Glad to hear the puppy is feeling better.

Just an update! Layla is doing better! She's putting a little more weight on her paw and it doesn't seem to hurt as much anymore !!! She's as playful as ever lol....annoying my senior chihuahua to pieces.

Thanks to all of you who are following / followed Layla. It means a lot to me. <3

Glad to hear she is annoying the other pup Its always a good sign

Hope you both have a great new year!

[Verodoll]

Happy new year to you and to everyone else as well!

Don't be too surprised if she seems to do well for a day or two and then relapses. They tend to forget they are hurt once they start feeling better and then they "over do it" and start limping again. The longer you can keep her quiet and contained, the faster she will heal.

Happy New Year.

Yeah that's exactly what I have been suspicious of. I am planning on keeping her off of her paw for as long as I can.

That's exactly what happened with Max. He seemed better and I let him "over do it". He wound up hurting his leg again because it didn't heal long enough.

It's threads like this with positive energy & helpful advice that make me so happy to be a part of YT.

I'm glad she's doing better. It's too bad she's got to spend New Year's Eve resting, but her next year will surely be better! At least, it isn't broken. That's the good thing.

I remember that. It happened to Scarlett, too, because I was a sucker for those little brown eyes and let her out of her crate to play way too soon.

I think I remember that, too.
