Hello all,
I have an 11yo doxie named Torrie. She had a bad fall this last Sunday night and has a sprained leg, I rushed her to the vet after it happened to make sure there was nothing seriously wrong with her back. Her X rays came out fine no back problems no broken bones etc... the Vet says she will be just fine and gave her some pain pills. Since we brought her home Monday she refuses to move at all she lays in her crate on her right side, the left leg is the one that is hurt, she screams if I try to move her or pick her up at all. She wont move to go potty, or for food or anything, I don't know what to do, has anyone else had an experience like this with a doxie? I know shes older but before her fall she never had any problems moving around, she was very active and energetic like a puppy and nothing would stop her from eating dinner, now she just looks at it and whines at me if I don't put it right under her nose. I am so lost on what to do to make her feel better, I don't think its healthy for her to not move at all. Any suggestions or advise is welcome.
