What To Do If You Think Your Dog May Have A Broken Bone


It is crucial to immediately contact a veterinarian to have your pet evaluated and prevent complications if you think it has an injury or has been in an accident. 


To prevent aggravating the damage or adding more pain, you should take care of transporting the pup to the vet. If they are tiny and can be carried, gently place them inside your vehicle on their uninjured side. Lift the pet by the shoulder and hips while supporting its head and back. Keep the injured limb as steady as possible but avoid attempting to correct it. 


Support the pet by simply placing it in thick blankets or pillows. Use a sling to help bigger pups who can stand on three legs and enter the car with help. A blanket or a towel may be helpful in this situation. To assist the dog in carrying its weight, run the long cloth underneath the body and tie the ends securely above it. Pets incapable of walking should be placed on a thick blanket and carried like a gurney. When you get to your animal medical clinic Middletown, DE, let them know what's happening and allow them to take your dog out of the car.
