Help!

omgosh...I'm panicking..long story short, we think my cousin's dog's arm is broken. It looks twisted. We called a 24 hour emergency vet number..and it led to an answering machine for the office... I'm not sure what to do. We've been keeping her lying on her side and keeping her still...and we're trying to find someone to help. We can't afford anything because when we called my mom she said "it's not my problem" I don't know what to do..ah...someone..suggestions?

Where's your aunt and uncle?

[binka_nugget]

they're at home in another city. My cousin and her dog were sleeping over...I guess I'll call up my uncle and aunt right now..oh I feel so horrible..it's all my fault..I'll be back later to check for suggestions...

okay well I went back up to check on her and she's doing a bit better. She wasn't crying when she was walking but I put her in a crate to prevent her from playing with kai and hurting her arm again. We're going to take her into a vet's for an exam on the arm tomorrow morning. Even though she's not limping or crying anymore, it still looks a bit disoriented so I'm pretty sure something got messed up. What happened was...I was carrying her and she started kicking me and wiggled her way out of my arms and fell down. She landed on a hard surface on all fours and tried walking to my cousin but she cried and limped.

Maybe she had just pulled a muscle or something. When Simba and Nala get to playing sometimes one of them knocks the other the wrong way causing them to limp just a bit.

Were her and Kai playing? Any pictures of the sweety?

Kai and her are usually playing and it was time to feed Kai dinner so I picked her up and tried to hold her until he was done...she has a thing for stealing Kai's meals lol.

I managed to take a few pics of her in Kai's crate resting...and snuck a pic of Kai lol.







and here's the one I snuck of Kai...he's wondering why he and moka can't play

it looks like it might be fractures or out of joint.

I'll second that! What a sweetie! :wub:

Let us know what the vet says. I honestly have no idea what might be wrong, but agree that it looks very awkward (especially in that crate pic with tweety bird in the front).

Love the crimped ears, too. So sweet.

WAH!!!! Poor lil baby!! I remeber when Odie broke his leg. It was SOOOO horrible you could see the bone right through. But my grandpa used to be a vet so he set it, we had him do it because he could tend to odie's leg more often than a vet.

I hope moka's lil leg gets better!!
