Two days ago I woke up to see my dog limping towards me for a cuddle. Still half asleep at that time, I wasn't sure if she was really limping or just had a hard time walking past a bed of scattered pillows. And when I confirmed she actually had a leg injury as manifested by her limping, I did the first thing that came to my mind. Splint and Bandages! Having stored knowledge about first aid, I easily managed to splint and bandage her injured leg. Sadly, the vet is out of town and my dog won't get checked for 4 more days. Seeing my dog unable to walk and in discomfort, I am now thinking of taking off the splint. I'm not really sure about it though...

Normally dogs get back to normal after a while if there is no serious injury. I give homoeopathy in such cases. Ruta 200 could be given or Arnica 6 until your doctor arrives.
for your doggy!

maybe you try to call another vet while yours is not available and ask their opinion or possibly bring your dog in to see them. hope you find the help u need for your dog soon. and your dog gets all better.

I did that actually. Sadly, when the vet asked me what happened before my dog started limping, I just said "hmmm... we were sleeping?" LOL... It's stupid but true though. Then the vet just said, good thing I did the bandaging to prevent further injury. Haha... BTW, my dog is all good now! =]
