Don’t know how to fix it - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Good morning,

I’m just so heart broken for my Cali! Miss Cali got fixed Wednesday morning everything went well but shortly after bringing her home she fell off my bed. I promise I only turned my back for a few minutes. She has been limping since Wednesday. Of course I took her to the vet. They did an X-ray and said nothing is broken or fractured gave her meds and said she needed to rest. She has been resting but today is Monday and she is still limping. She applies some pressure but not to much. Besides her limping or completely holding her leg up she is her happy energetic self (when I let her out her kennel to handle her business). I just don’t know what to do to help her.

If there are no broken bones or torn ligaments or swelling, it may just be a case of soreness. I know as a former athlete, I can't tell you the number of times I strain something which tool several days or even weeks to get over the soreness.

If you said she is acting normally otherwise, I think some time is needed to get over the soreness.

Did they check her patella? She could have torn her CCL (ACL). You might need to get a second opinion from a orthopedic specialist.

I won’t be off till Friday but I told myself if she’s not better by then I will be taking her to a different doctor.
