Okay so last night my little prince was sleeping on his back, all 4 up in the air, at the end of the bed. He got to dreaming and rolled over OFF THE BED and hurt his back left leg. I think when he rolled he got it stuck between the mattress and footboard. He cried for what seemed like hours and I cried with him. I called the ER vet and they were well useless. Basically they said if he was probably just being a baby since it was his first time hurting himself. He will let us move it and it's just a little swollen, but he is still favoring it. I talked to my mom this morning and her vet prescribed her dog for a similar accident tramadol. I am actually prescribed tramadol for my own back because of bad ATV wreck over Spring Break when I was life-flighted. Anyways... I called the vet again and asked about the tramadol and they told me why yes you can give him tramadol but we can't tell you how much! SOOOO... I looked it up online and it said .45-1.8 mg per lb of body weight. I am worried about giving him anything at all, but I know the little dude is hurting. If he is still favoring it tomorrow I am going to go ahead and take him in. They told me to just watch him for a few days and luckily his daddy gets to stay home with him everyday! I am just so worried. He looks so sad.. =(((
