My dog was just ran over by a boat trailer (Suv pulling it). She did walk back to the back yard, very slowly. What should I watch for? Internal injuries?

I am so sorry, I hope you will do a follow up and let us know how the dog is.

But even if the dog was happy when it walked away with no sign of injury what so ever, a visit to the VET for Xrays would be called for to be sure there was no internal injuries.

Wow ...... what a night. Worried all night about our dog and today she seems to be on the road to recovery. No internal injuries. No broken bones. Just some bruises, cuts and scrapes (deep one on her leg). You can tell she is very soar but, she still wants to play ball. I can not believe how lucky she is. I totally watched the boat trailer run right over her and her screaming is still fresh in my mind ... and the kids minds. She is a 5 year old black lab that weighs around 64 pounds and just loves to play ball... that is what got her in trouble. The ball went into the street and she did not even care about it going under a moving vehicle (boat trailer). We are so blessed that she is ok.

I'm so glad your dog is okay! She's very lucky!

I had almost the same thing happen to my dog. He was run over with a trailer that had a bobcat on in. But he ended up with a dislocated leg and 2 pelvic fractures. This happened a month ago and he still can't walk all that well. He's very lucky it didn't run over a different part of his body or he would have been done for. My dog is also 5 years old and very active. I can tell he wants to play like he use to but his leg won't allow it. The thing is, I don't think he learned his lesson! He still crawls under cars...
