4 Paws Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 On Friday night one of my gsd's fell off the back step and injured her leg.I tried crating her as much as possible and it seemd a lot better the next day.She was still limping on it slightly but was on the mend .Last night i heard her let out a yelp again and noticed she was limping again.All day she's not putting her full weight on it and tonight you can really notice its sore again and she's back to limping and generally looking misrable Can the vets actually do anything if its just a pulled muscle or could it be more serious?It doesn't appear swollen. Should I try just confining her for a day and see what its like than or is a vet vist on the cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Could be a torn cruciate? I would definitely take her, even if just for pain relief and peace of mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOE Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I would go and get her checked and maybe xrayed just for peace of mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Rules Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Yes, get the vet to have a look at her. Even if you just come away with some anti inflammatories to help her along meantime..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabrADORE Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I agree with taking her to the vets too. While it may just be a strained muscle it is best too be sure that that is all it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4 Paws Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 just got home from vets.They think the damage may be further up in her shoulder so have put her on a dose of anti imflamatories for 5 days than will reacess and if no better will need to sedate her and do further examanation and possible x rays Fingers crossed we just need rest and the anti imflatories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
