First Aid Guide for Dogs and Cats.
Broken Bones
If your pet displays a sudden acute lameness and the limb position appears abnormal it might have broken bones. Further indications are a swelling and the pet showing distress on movement and unwillingness to move the injured limb.
- It is important to keep your pet still, restraining it as necessary to limit further damage.
- Do not attempt to reposition the limb.
- Contact your vet for advice.
