Can a dog be OK with 2 left legs?
My dog recently ran under a car and ended up with her two right legs being torn off. She was pretty quiet for a few days but seems OK now, except that she can't walk. do you think I should take her to a vet or can dogs recover from these injuries without help? Also, my smaller dog keeps biting at the wounds. Is this normal? She is an Irish water spaniel - i've heard that they are very resilient.
Answers:
u should take her to the vet already. the other two legs might be able to get back on. or they might give plastic legs..
Just remove the other two and get her a skateboard
You're a big time idiot!
You haven't taken your dog to the vet? Are you stupid or just lazy? She might have internal injuries that need looking at, as well as the wounds where her legs were torn off. Plus she can't have much of a life with just two legs, I'd take her to the vet right now.
i'd try to get her some help, as she wouldn't be able to walk properly, she'd be over balanced.
At the end of the day you have think what is best for the dog.
Good luck though.
ouch i hope she is okay try going to the vet to see what they say and they maybe can tell you what to do next
It is a very inhumane situation for your dog. A dog is made to run on at least three legs, with restrictions.
You honestly should consider that your dog is suffering and taking her to a vet to be humanely euthanized. I know this is a terrible thought, but it will save you and your dog a lot of unnecessary suffering on the long run.
If she would be out freely in nature, she would ultimately also die due to the injury, directly or indirectly, anyway.
Sorry I didnt read your whole question but I have an answer.
TAKE YOUR DOG TO THE VET!
Your dog has had two legs ripped off by a car and you havent take it to the vet? Did you stich up the wounds yourself? Did you disinfect the wounds? Take it to the vet. please
All i can think is that you are scared the vet will put the dog down. You have to try, as hard as it may be, to do what is best for the dog. Your vet is the best person to help you and will not force you to do anything, asking people on the internet is a bit silly
it think so but i am not sure but i give all my hope to you and your dog sry awwwwww thats so sad!!
Was it really a car or your meat eating hampster that caused the injury?
OMG!! Take this dog to the vet! At least get her on antibiotics. She probably will recover, you will have to rig up some way for her to get around. But have her checked out!
you must be kidding!
If not it is incredible that the dog is not already dead. Get to a vet NOW your dog are suffering!
I don't know what the heck you are thinkin of that you are not already at a vet - stop reading and get out the door with that poor suffering dog!
I hope this is a joke but if not, please take the dog to the vet.
If you have talked to a vet, wouldn't they have a suggestion?
Theres a little video you can watch that shows a dog with only two legs. Hope your dog gets better!
OH you haven't taken her to the vets, i'd book an appointment straight away, no matter how much the bills cost, im sure she's worth it!They can survive with help... I think.
the 2 legs get ripped off..AND YOU DONT TAKE HER TO THE VET! lol
and LOL at the skateboard idea!
your dog will very liklly get ill in a very bad way and mabe die if you do not get medicel help to it as soon as posible ,
the other dog should stay a way until your hart dog is treated
and dont worry if you think the vet will put him down ,he is more likely to need if you dont get him help.
Why have you not already taken your dog to the vet. Do you think a human could recover from the same without help. This is cruel take her to the vet and put her out of her misery and suffering!
How can you talk about caring when you have done nothing to help the dog you are her owner and she fully relies on you. The courts would she this as cruel causing unnecessary suffering. Don't talk about reporting people for abuse as that is what people should be reporting you for. fair do's the 1st comment was cruel but you are far worse
I simply cannot believe that your dog has not seen a vet after this accident ... either you are very stupid or this is a complete wind up. In any event, you shouldn't be in charge of any animals. And if the problem is lack of money to pay the vet, that is simply no excuse for the complete lack of attention. If my dog was hurt like yours, I would beg, steal or borrow to secure instant vetinerary attention. I am sorry but I cannot believe you are asking this question .. I tell you, if you had an arm and a leg torn off .. you would not be quiet for two days and you would not recover. You have had an animal in an emergency situation and you have done nothing! This is madness !
sorry bout ur dog but i don think shell ever walk again. can u get fake legs for dogs? but if she stands she will probs fall over. neways soz bout ur dog. =~)
if you really love your dog you will take her to the vets.- she needs medical attention - now!
You really should have had the poor dog to the vet by now. They would be able to treat her in a medical way. I dont really see how your dog will ever be able to walk again, as she wont be able to balence herself.
Yes it can be ok. Once it gets used to it.
yes he well be just fine
you LOVE your dog so MUCH that insted of taking her to the VET to help her you are on the internet asking US for advise. maybe insted of reporting us for abuse maybe your neighbors should report you for dog abuse... TAKE HER TO THE VET STUPID
I think you should take her to a doctor as you said the legs were torn.
Oh dear, poor you.
Now you have some work to do. You will need some wood, some large cable ties and a wheel from a baby carriage if you are american or a pram if you are British.
Right, attach the pram/baby carriage wheel to the end of the piece of wood, make sure it is at right angles to the wood and it spins freely. Now strap the wood to the dog using the cable ties, get them nice and tight and have the wood projecting out to the right side of the dog with the wheel set so that the dog`s body is parrallel to the ground.
With a bit of training the dog will learn to sort of hop on his/her left legs and the wheel will keep it upright.
Do you have any knowledge of motor racing ? Gran Turismo is a perfect place to start. You can experiment with camber and toe-in/out. Just send the dog around the block as fast as it can go and time it with a reliable stopwatch, the setting that gets you the quickest time is the one to keep.
I hope this helps.
As for the other dog biting at the wounds, a good kick in the teeth will provide a reasonable detterent, especially after a few have been broken free from it`s jaw. (Be sure to wear a stout boot wheen doing this, we don`t want you injured as well do we ?)
Oh, did you keep the two legs that were ripped off ? I have a lovely Korean recipe book with some great ideas for Irish Water Spaniel legs. Do you prefer spicy or a nice soup with noodles ?
Anyway good luck and have fun setting some quick times around the block.
Gosh, you are going to have so much fun together eh ?
A man and his dog..how lovely.
Gee for someone who says they care about their animals you sure show ignorance. Having read your question, I am amazed that you stopped the bleeding so fast, and that the dog was able to get over the shock of the injuries so well. What did you use for stitches, and why didn't you report the driver of the car.
Still on the lighter side you could always take the animal to the vet and have her put out of her misery, because that is what you are causing her.
If you truly loved animals you would have gone to a vet as soon as possible.. so do the right thing this time.
OMG YOU CRUEL F-U-C-K-E-R- GET THE DOG TO THE VET NOW ,IF IT WAS YOU WHO HAD BOTH LEGS RIPPED OFF WOULD A BATH OF TCP BE SUFFICENT,I WISH I WAS THERE RIGHT NOW CAUSE I WOULD RUN OVER YOUR HEAD WITH MY CAR YOU C-U-N-T AND REPORT ME AS MUCH AS YOU WANT I REALLY DONT GIVE A **** YOU RELIGIOUS CRUEL FREAK.
You need to be repoted due to MY religious beliefs!!! I am morally against people who let dogs suffer!! Did you know it is a CRIME to NOT seek medical attention for a sick or injured animal.
Euthanasia is the answer..for YOU!!
Only five words.
Take it to the vet.
How gullible are people, HONESTLY !!

My head fell off a few days ago, should I go to the doctors?
I can categorically confirm that the blood supply to one leg is so vast that should a limb be torn off the dog would die from major blood loss within minutes. Halve this time for 2 severed legs! It is unlikely that the dog could be saved even if immediate veterinary attention was sought. I therefore conclude that you are pulling our leg!
