My dog's leg looks turned around. What should I do right now?

Poor Patches! In order to know if she has a broken or dislocated leg, you will need to take her to a veterinarian for an exam and x-rays. This is not something that can be diagnosed or treated at home, so please take her to an emergency clinic tonight to be seen. If you're not sure where to go, try calling your regular vet's office - their voicemail message should have a contact number for your nearest ER or an on-call doctor for emergencies.

You need to take your dog to a veterinarian who can reset the leg and then at least immobilize it so a) the swelling can go down, b) the pain is reduced c) discuss possible alternatives in repairing the leg, be it conservative treatment or surgery d) prescribe pain medicine until you have decided how to proceed.

Ouch, your poor pup! You need to take him into the vet as soon as possible. It needs to be cleaned sterilely, he may need x-rays to see if there are any possible broken bones, he needs antibiotics to prevent an infection, some of the cuts may need sutures, and he will need pain medication. Please do not give him any human pain medications, as many are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. The vet will determine the appropriate treatment needed. Please take him into one now.

The bone appears broken to me but without an x-ray it is impossible for me to know for sure. Your vet should sedate him, try to put the bone back in alignment as best he can and then put on a spoon splint (from the elbow down to the toes) to stabilize the bone. That is the best chance at having the bone heal as straight as possible if x-rays and surgery are not possible. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzSIvv5g83E )

He may have dislocated his hip or fractured one of the bones in his leg. Please take him to the nearest veterinary ER or to your veterinarian right away. An exam and x-rays may diagnose the underlying cause for the [lameness](https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/lameness-1/). If it is a [fracture](https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/fractures-in-cats-and/) it may need to be splinted or surgically repaired depending on the severity and location. If it is a dislocation it will need to be reduced. If this is done earlier, it is more likely that surgery will not be required.

This is a medical emergency, and this puppy needs to see a vet now. This will be extremely painful for him, and he needs pain medications right away. Do not give him any human pain medications, as many are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. He also needs x-rays to determine how bad the fracture is, and if surgery is an option to repair it. If the fracture is really bad, amputation may be needed, but only a vet can decide that. Please take him into a vet immediately.

Ouch, poor Loki! He will need to see a vet for x-rays to confirm if he broken or dissociated his toe, and I would take him into a vet first thing in the morning. Tonight, I would rest him. No running, jumping, or playing. Take him out to toilet on a lead only, and bring him right back in when he's done. He may also benefit from some pain medications, which the vet can prescribe. Please do not give him any human pain medications, as many are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. Do not feed him in the morning as he may need to be sedated in order to get x-rays, and he should have an empty stomach in order to be sedated safely. Good luck, I hope this helps!
