leg

Question
A piece of wood (board ) fell on our puppy's back leg
I can't feel a break? but he cannot walk on it, put pressure on it, could it be a sprain? he doesn't yelp or anything when he's trying to walk. What should we do?


Answer
Hi Terri,

Thank you for writing to me about your puppy.  Sorry that this happened to him.

My suggestion is to bring him to the vet immediately.  A fracture is not something that you can feel with your hands.  It can only be determined by an x-ray.  

Best Regards,
