    Exclamation Lincoln hurt his paw/leg

    Lincoln fell about a 1 1/2 feet off a coffe table. He hurt his front right leg/ paw. I’m not sure how bad or the exact spot. He is holding it to his chest and his arms are chunky so I can’t tell if it’s swollen. He is growling, chattering his teeth and chewing at his paw. I have tremadol and can get baby Motrin. What should I do? I’m not sure if it’s just sore,sprained,or a break. We just want a plan in place Incase it’s the worse

    Post a weight on him and the strength of your meds honey. Is he using the leg at all to walk on?

    What is the strength on the Tramadol?
    Do you have a weight on Lincoln?
    I would imagine it would be next to impossible to weigh him now,
    if you don't.
    Where are you located again? Just the town.
    OR you can pm me the info. I will look for vets just in case.

    The only problem with giving pain meds is we don't want him feeling too
    good so that he injures the paw/leg further.
    Can you get infant Motrin?

    He seems to be ok now he’s using it fine, running around jumping and climbing. I’m gonna keep an eye on him. I think that was his first real ouchy and both me and him panicked about it. If y’all think I should give him meds anyway I will

    No, I wouldn't give him meds now. We don't want him feeling better than he already is!
    These little ones will be the death of us yet.

    Okay thank you. I may have panicked a lil bit
    I’ll keep an eye on him though I know they’ve been known to hide their injuries.
