Sprained Muscle

• Sprained Muscle shadieeie Posted : 4/19/2006 9:22:23 AM Hi,   My 4 year old beagle was trying to jump into my lap and his missed [].  He couldn't jump on the couch or anywhere.  I would put him up, my mistake, he had to jump down. Finally he started whimpering when he would stand and I know where he hurts.  It is the area around the top portion of his tail and the area on the side going down towards his back paw.  I have been giving him baby asprin, but today I notice that his tail is not all perky, kinda hanging limp.  Any suggestions to help him with his discomfort and how long should he be in pain.  LIKE 2 REPLIES 392 VIEWS LAST POST MARLANIA Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• marlania Posted : 4/19/2006 2:53:17 PM I agree with Glenda. In this case, it's best to take your dog to the vet ASAP. It's very possible that this is more than just a simple injury. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
