Biscuit did this after jumping 4ft from the top of a dog crate. He limped for the first few hops and sat down. I phoned the vets, they said to monitor him for an hour. After 40 minutes or so he was hoppng around completely normally but they said for me to give him a dose of metacam just to ease through any discomfort, rather than pain he would be going through.
Maybe if he's still the same within the hour, pop to the vets for a quick check and dose of metacam? The fact he's eating and would put weight on it when required suggests it may just be a tad sore perhaps, like if we bang our hands in a door or something?
How is he now? hope everything is OK
Thanks, he's sitting still so don't know if he's in pain or not :?
Is that normal for him? have you tried getting him to move to see if he can use his leg? really hope that everything is OK with him, they are just so fragile
Normal for this time of day, yes.
He's just been out for his evening exercise and seemed all okay. It didn't stop him hopping around and eating grass and he was using both legs. He might have been a bit lifting his leg a little bit but that may just be me being paranoid because they do sometimes lift one leg when they stop for a minute. Eat his dinner too
Thanks for the support everyone
