My siberian husky hurt his leg last night and now his eyes are white. He doesn't want to walk on his hurt leg at all. He does seem to want to do much of anything now. Please help

Please, please take him to a vet!!

If you were in terrible pain, would you post a question to us to ask us what you should do? NO, you would go to a doctor!

I don't have the money to bring hime to a vet my son has been sick all my money went to him

Talk to your vet about a payment plan. There is a sticky here on tips to lower your vet bills, check it out.
This is going to sound harsh, but if you can't afford to give your dog proper vet care, then he needs to go to someone who can.
Time to shut off the internet so you can afford to take your dog to the vet. There is always ways to cut costs, and this animal who depends on you deserves proper medical care.

Then call a vet and work out a barter or some kind of a deal to pay for his services. Vets will do that because they do not want to know animals are suffering. Please do not continue to allow your dog to be miserable. If only the whites are showing in his eyes, he is in pain!

If you absolutely cannot-no-way take him to the vet try and keep him off that leg as much as possible.

Do you have a crate?
With injured dogs, especially with their legs it's important to let them get as much rest as possible, so crating them for a day or so is the best thing you can do.
Hopefully he has just pulled a muscle, but I will warn you it could be a lot worse.
Have a look at the sticky at the top of the dog section on lowering vet costs. Best one in your case would be to ask your vet if there is any way they can work out a payment plan for you so you can pay the bill back in installments.

Give him an Advil.
That's what my Vet had us do when are dog had a cast on his leg.

I don't have internet are cable in my home. All I was looking for was help on trying to get his pain down until tomorrow when I got paid and I can bring him to his vet. But no every one on here once to pass judgement and tell me what I should do. And how I should cut cost in my home. I cut cost the best I can and when I can. This is the first time that I had my dad that I didn't have the money right a way to bring him to a vet and I hate it. But when it comes to my son and my dog I will all ways put my son first.

Give him an Advil.
Thats what my Vet had us do when are dog had a cast on his leg.

While I agree pain medication would help, I would not recommend giving a dog any sort of medication, especially human drugs without consulting a vet first.
If you were to give him any medication it would be buffered children's aprin, not plain Advil.

Thank you his vet called and said that children's aprin will help until tomorrow

I aM sorry that it sounded like I was passing judgment, I can understand no having money, and I can definitely understand putting your child first. What I can not understand is animal suffering.

Anyway you didn't say in your post that you were waiting until paYday, you said you didn't have the money period. I am glad you are able to get him to see the vet.

And sorry for the misunderstanding, sometimes I let my emotions get in the way of normal thought process. Sometimes I lack the tact that many others have.
Hope your dog gets better soon! Hope you will keep us updated.

Well I gave my dog the children's aprin it has helped seem. He is up and walking around now.

You should still keep him rested, don't let him walk around, if you have to crate him like Shaz suggested.

If the asprin made him feel better he's not out of the woods but it is a good sign.

Just make sure he stays rested until his vet visit or until he is back to normal whichever comes first.

Good luck.

Good on keeping him rested, and thank you for consulting with your vet about the PROPER medication to give.

Be VERY wary of advice over the internet, especially when it comes to medication. While I'm sure the previous poster meant well when they advised you to give Advil, Ibuprophen can be (and is) toxic to many dogs, even in a small dose.

Just got back from the vet with my dog he is going to be OK

YYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!

What did the vet say is wrong?

Give him an Advil.

My comment got chopped off - you could NOT be more wrong. If you don't believe what has been said here, here's the link and the quote: "Q: What about other drugs, like Tylenol® and Advil®?
A: In a word, NO for both of the above. Tylenol is fatal to cats. Neither drug (acetaminophen and ibuprofen, respectively) is routinely used for arthritis. (These drugs may be prescribed for your dog by your vet, but only under close supervision and careful dosing.)"

I talked to my Vet. Today after everone act like I was trying to hurt this dog He said one Advil WOULD NOT HURT A AVERAGE SIZE DOG!

2 names?

2 names ?

I talked to my Vet. today after everone act like I was trying to hurt this dog He said one Advil WOULD NOT HURT A AVERAGE SIZE DOG !!

An average sized dog with no pre-existing medical conditions. Without knowing the previous history of the dog it is dangerous advice.

This may be true ,I was just passing on some information that I had.
I was hurt because I treated like I was a bad person.
Thank all of you for understanding I hope.
Have a good and save life DG.

Yes but why run the risk when there are much safer alternatives out there?
Advil (Ibuprofen) can cause stomach ulcers and liver problems in dogs. Asprin does still have risks, but not as many/much as Advil.
I don't doubt your vet said Advil, but I don't think that vet knows what they are talking about. Baby asprin is much safer.

I have edited my previous post to exclude the information about anti-inflammatories, just for future readers.
My bad.

Just ignore all the rude people. Yes children's asprin works good my dog broke her back tooth in half and was bleeding really bad. I also had to wait until pay day (two days) for her to have surgery them my vet gave me 30 days to pay them back in full.

But then, the vet, who knows your dog, told you to give that to her. Right? It wasn't something you decided on your own.

Don't know about all the agrees and disagrees .
I'm just glad the dogs gone to be all right.

Exactly, Children's ASPRIN, not ADVIL. That is what the whole argument was about if you actually read back.

Hawkball, I am sorry but I am going to close your thread, I can see this dragging on and on...
Please do come back and start a new topic about your Husky and let us know how he is doing.
