How do you treat a dislocated toe on a dog?

Answer 1

Take it to the vet immediately. The dog is likely to be in pain, as the tail is an extension of the spinal column and thus is highly enervated. Treatment often depends on where the tail is broken. The middle or the tip of the tail, may be able to be let to heal on its own depending on the severity, but a break at the base can often result in the tail being amputated, as it is near the rest of the spinal column and could cause complications with the spine.

Answer 2

My dog just dislocated his tail this morning and I called the vet and they told me that either they could put him on meds for that pain or amputate it. So I called my chiropractor [who usually only words on ppl] said that he just worked on a dog earlier this week and once he had to adjust a horse.

Answer 1

You do absolutely nothing other than taking it to a vet.

You are not a veterinarian, you have no idea if it is actually dislocated.

The leg could be broken. The bone might have split. The socket could have cracked. And so on.

If you attempt to "fix" what seems to be a dislocated leg on your dog and it turns out to actually be a split bone, you could internally shred his veins with the sharp bone fragments and cause him to bleed to death in a matter of minutes.

Take the dog to a vet to be looked at professionally. The vet may need to do an x-ray.

The treatment options depend on where the dislocation is (top, knee or ankle), how it's dislocated and if there is any other bone damage. The dog may need surgery, the dog may need to be anaesthetised for his and the vet's safety, the dog may need to be shaved and have a numbing substance sprayed on his skin to freeze the nerves and so on.

Since your animal is in pain, I would consult with a vet A.S.A.P. Only a professional can help. They will probably give your dog muscle relaxers or even "freeze" the joint with an injection in order to "fix" the joint. I always use the adage "If it was a child, what would I need my parent(you) to do?" Help your beloved pet. If you cannot afford this service, call around to other vets, make payment plans, offer a trade of some sort to a neighbor in exchange for a $$$ donation. Be creative and find ANY way to help your pet. Thanks
If your dogs leg is dislocated to him to an animal hospital immediately so he can get proper treatment.

Answer 4

You need to take your dog to a veterinarian to have the shoulder popped back into place and stabilized so the tendons and ligaments of the shoulder will heal properly. The sooner this is done after the dislocation, the better the prognosis for a good recovery.

Answer 5

They have bandages that are used for horses that you can put around the tail to help keep it from moving as easily. These bandages come in a roll and will adhere to themselves without the use of tape, thus they are quite sturdy. You just have to make sure that the dog doesn't chew them. You can find them in stores that sell horse products. Pet stores might have them too.

Answer 6

The first thing you MUST do is take your dog to the vet. There are a lot of pet owners who don't think this is necessary (??!!), but it IS. The vet can determine the extent of the damage i.e. if any ligaments or tendons are stretched or torn as a result. Permanent damage can occur if your pet is not treated quickly and efficiently. I was told to ice the area right away (I used a bag of water with ice in it...), and rest rest rest for the dog. Be prepared for frequent visits to the vet and a lengthy recovery ~ depending on the extent of the injury ~ until your dog gets the green light.

The Answer below is only for Greyhounds Or Lurchurs

Or when i had a Greyhound his toe got dislocated theres 2 options go to the vet spend £100's maybe even £1000's getting his toe chopped of or spend no money let it heal DO NOT take him on walks if you have a big garden let the dog in the garden but 90% of the time let him rest NEVER touch his toe only touch his toe if he put his saw paw next to you even then be very gentle if it does not heal in 1 - 6 months take him to the vets at see the extent of the damage in some cases theres no option but to get it chopped of because the extent of it is very bad

Answer 7

First, take the dog to the vet to let them take a look at it. They'll most likely give him/her pain medications and possibly, depending on the break, give it a temporary splint which is a soft cast.

Answer 8

nothing really my dog had a broken tail and we just had to wait until it heled on its own
