| hurt leg the other day Riley was chasing a all down the hall towards the kitchen. when he got to the kitchen he slide and hurt his back leg. well now he has hurt it again doing the same thing. He lets me touch it and rub on it so I dont think its broke, I dont know if I should wait it out (like you would a sprain) or take him to the vet. He limps around some but most of the time he does put pressure on it. help please

| I hope your rilley gets to feeling better soon. It seems like if he can put pressure on it its okay but if he keeps limping you might wanna take him to vet to make sure. If it were my dog I would probably put an ice compress on it to relieve any pain. It seems like this can happen so easily!!!!

| Oh, poor little Riley! I do hope he gets to feeling better soon. Schatzie sends puppy hugs to Riley.

| Awww, poor Riley - I'm so sorry to hear that he is hurt I hope he feels better soon. I agree, if the limp continues, I would have him seen by the vet just to be on the safe side. Maybe something is seriously bruised and he needs to be splinted? Let us know how he's doing!

| Wait a little while Since this recently happened to miss Lily, I would recommend waiting it out. Lily fell off the bed, and since it was her first injury, we completely overreacted and rushed her to the ER -- turns out, she was fine.... I would suggest seeing how your baby favors the leg or not..... If it keeps up for more than 3 days, I would have them checked out.
