When a dog's leg is hurt?

So I just heard my dog like screaming?? And I ran to check on him and now he’s limping and he looks really hurt and I tried to tell my dad and he’s such an idiot he says he’s faking but Like…His legs is sticking out sideways…Well not all the way just a little and when I accidentally bumped into it he started crying and screaming, I’m sooo scared, I don’t know what to do! Help pleasee!!

I have no idea what happened I didn’t see it all I saw was him by the couch when I picked him up…

Answer #1

Well…He was faking it…He wanted a donut, and I wouldn’t give it to him and he jumped off the couch and jumped up to get it

Answer #2

Oh my lord…he is NOT faking. GO TO THE VET! AND DO AS PHRANNIE SAID.

My lordy…what kind of idiot is giving you the advice to ‘test’ him and that he is faking…

Answer #3

Then he may be faking it, they can be very convincing. If he keeps it up for a few hours then run by the vet. Start throwing a tennis ball or something to test him. Just make sure you yell go get it boy when he isn’t expecting it.

Answer #4

Well I mean he has faked it while I was playing with the cat, But I don’t think he’s faking this time. He looks like he’s really hurting.

Answer #5

He might have pulled a muscle or broken his leg or pulled the joint out of place. Take him by the vet unless he has faked it before.

Answer #6

What type of person says TEST a dog to see if he’s faking it?!?!?dog’s aren’t like spoilt children. And they cannot deliberately get their legs to dangle and I have never heard of a dog that is faking it.

GET HIM TO THE VET. Listen to phrannie. And templatepro I HOPE you NEVER EVER have any animals.

Answer #7

Get this dog to the VET!! Until you get him there, keep him quiet and off that leg as much as possible. Don’t let him go out alone, put him on a leash, with as little activity as possible.

DO NOT throw a ball, or “test” his leg in anyway…it’s obvious that he’s injured, he doesn’t need any tests…

If he can move it…if it’s not dangling or anything…then it’s probably not broke. But he could torn his ACL, or another tendon or ligament.
