Cavelier King Charles spaniel,has arthrites in back leg,half hour ago started crying,cant walk,back leg floppy ,no vets open untill Monday.I have put a elasticated bandage on it,stopped crying but cant walk,what should I do?
Answers:
Try putting it in a splint, made out of lolly-ice sticks,bind it up, then to keep it clean,.cover the lot with a Banks small plastic money-bag, fastened on with some kind of tape.selotape is okay!! Good luck,and don't worry. My dog has had arthritis for years.He's nearly ten,now. Ask your Vet for the square brown tablets, which I think are called"Rimidin", my dog has them when he gets an attack, and they are really good. But,note, it depends on how old your dog is, so do check,first!!(Give him a 'big kiss' from me!!!).He may have just sprained it,which,like us, makes our foot go floppy and we cannot walk on it when it happens.But,...Don't worry, I'm sure he'll soon be okay.
Cheers for now... From:... .'tottie-for-lol' !!
Hi, sorry to hear about your dog! The only thing you can do is get in touch with private vets and they should tell you take him/her in! sorry to hear about this! if you need to talk email me at kristomann@yahoo.co.uk
call the r.s.p.c.a and ask for there help, or call your normal vets and on the answering machine the vet would have left a message to ring another number for call out emergencys, please do something don't let your dog suffer till monday, i'm a big dog lover, i love my 2 white west highland terriers, good luck hope dogs ok,
It sounds as if the knee is out of joint, Im sorry but you will have to just try to keep your dog as comfy as possible till you see the vet.Most good vets have an emergency number and can meet you at his office!
If you call your vets you will be put though to their emergency service, ALL vets have an emergancy service.
Our cat once had surgery on christmas day.
call the vets they will have an emergency number and make sure the bandage isn't to tight or it could stop the blood circulating in the leg properly
you will find an emergency vet, or try the peoples dispensery for sick animals
