Answer #1

go to a vet, it could be broken,

Answer #2

The problem with a fragile pup like that…if he’s limping there is an injury of some type (I think he’d be carrying it, instead of limping if it was broke)…the chances are he’ll re-injure it over and over if you allow him up on stuff before it heals…

Give it 24 hours…and either keep him on the ground, or hold him when he is up on a bed or the couch, to keep him from re-hurting it. If he’s still limping in 24 hours go to the vet…tendons and ligaments take a while to heal.

Answer #3

I have a tea cup did the same thing twice first time we took her to the vet and they put I finger splint on it and left it on for 3-4 weeks and came off that cost me about $300 for a finger splint and a x-ray!!! This time we went to Wallgreens and did it ourselves for $10!!! But if it is a bad break and seems to be really tender I would deff. take him or her into the Vet.

Answer #4

I would take him to the vet just in case but I dont know? My dog jumped out of the car window before and bieng nearly 8 he was limping too.. we took him to the vet but there was nothing they could do and it went after a couple of weeks but dont risk it.. take him to the vets x
