If your pet experiences this kind of injury, then this is how you should deal with it:
- The first priority in this situation is to take your dog to see a vet as soon as possible. When you are taking it to the vet, you need to be careful to move the animal in the smoothest and most gentle possible way. This will avoid any further pain or injury.
- You should muzzle your pet, to restrict it from aggravating the area.
- You should take on board the advice that the vet has given you. If your dog still seems to be in pain, or not recovering from the injury, then it may have to be taken back to see the vet again.
