Injured puppy needs help

[bekbek8]

I was wondering if there is anything I could do about helping my 4 month old Chocolate Lab help walk again. She got hit by a truck and had no broken bones, possibly just nerve damage. Are there walkers or anything else out there that can help her use her legs more and learn to walk again?

I've heard that if you massage their legs or like "physical therapy* it can help the nerve damage, but you may not know how to do that...(you have contacted a vet about this right)

When did this happen? What treatment has the puppy received? Injuries can cause swelling and the effects might only be temporary.

If you have not already done so, a vet visit should be your first source for treatment.

I have heard that message works wonderw, but i have also heard of if you have a hot tub or a wurling jet bath tub, that the stimulation from the water jets ( just like in humans) can help make the blood floe better to the ailing areas. You just have to watch the temperature if you are usuing a hot tub ( b/c the temp they are set at can scald them). But if you have a worl pool bath tub that should be great, just hop in with your animal, and let the jets do their magic.

Poor puppy! I know that when Rusty broke his leg he wasn't allowed to be active for about 6 weeks. We had to hold him or he had to be in a kennel or kept quiet. That was hard for the poor boy he was only 6 months old. I don't know if that would be good for a dog that got hit by a car, he may just need to walk it out. Ask your vet for help.
