How long will it take for a dog to recover after his leg fell and was lame?
The time for self-healing is closely related to the injury to the dog's leg. If it is just a minor sprain, it will usually recover on its own in about a week. If the leg is fractured or cracked, it cannot heal on its own and needs to be treated with external fixation or surgical internal fixation. The recovery time usually takes about 3 to 4 months.
It is recommended that the owner check the injury on the dog's leg. If there is trauma, stop the bleeding and disinfect the wound immediately. If your leg is broken, go to the hospital immediately for immobilization and treatment.
The dog's leg was lame after falling, but there was no external injury and there was no problem with the bones. It is possible that your dog is deficient in calcium. Dogs suffering from calcium deficiency will have weak legs and abnormal bone development, causing them to not want to walk, so their legs will be limping. The owner can give the dog an appropriate amount of calcium supplement and take it to the sun more often. It will improve in ten days and half a month.
