whippet lame

[kreet 0]

was out with the pup the night and as usual she was going mad but she banged into a tufft of grass and she's a bit lame its the front left leg so gonna have to keep her on the leash and make sure she dont go mad in the garden and im gonna have to keep her split from the other dogs as she just wants to play constantly any advice ?

Keep her on lead for 4-6weeks 6 myself no free running.If swollen get some anti-inflamatories from vet NOT PAIN KILLERS.

you will be suprised how fast a young dog heals just keep an eye on her for a wk or two on the lead you will soon notice if something isnt right she will limp for a few days if she is pulling on the lead after a few days she will be all right dont molly coddle the pup to much she will have to get used to a few knocks just keep an eye on the leg as said for any swelling just keep her in for a few days she will be as right as rain.

My whippet does it sometimes, just keep her on a lead and no jumping for a week or so, keep an eye out for swelling, cold compress then.Whippets are strong little buggers with strong limbs so she should get over it quick as mine does, good luck.
