My heeler Missy has a rather sore leg.
Some days she can walk on it some days she can't she has a concent Limp in her left front leg.
Im thinking it may be a stress fractor but it might be something worse.
Im considering going to the vet so he can have alook at it.
But im wondering is there anything i can do before i have to take her to the vet.
I've tried
-Keeping her inside so she isnt running on it 24/7
-Keeping her the crate outside But letting her out for about 30mins.
I was considering straping it up but then wont she just bite it off?
You need to take her to a vet. It would be one thing if she was outside playing today and came in limping a little....maybe wait a day and see if she just twisted it funny. But, she's been doing this for a while and you are "considering" taking her to a vet or straping it up a bit???? You don't know if she has a fracture, a dislocation, a sprain, osteosarcoma or what and you are thinking about "straping it up?" Please take your dog to a vet today. If this was a child would you strap their leg up? I doubt it, you would take the child to a doctor.
I have a dog here that had a T fracture in her knee as a puppy, the people who had her waited approx. 2-3 weeks before they took her to the vet. What could have been a fairly easy fix turned into them planing to put her to sleep because they could not afford treatment so we took her and saved her.....don't do this to a dog that you supposedly love.
I agree with above responses. I wait one or two days for a limp to see if they just played to hard. After that, its to the vet. Be a responsibile pet owner, please.
DO NOT wait, get your dog to a vet. There is NO way people on an Internet for can tell you what may be wrong or instruct you on treatment.
