A dislocated thumb will occur after the thumb joint has been placed under unusual stress, and will normally occur while playing a sport such as football, or if you fall hard on your hand. The symptoms include: immobility of the thumb, swelling around the thumb, pain (usually severe) and a crooked look to the thumb.

What are the signs of a dislocated hip in a dog?

If you think that the hip is dislocated, then the dog needs to be at the vet. Would you want to be laying around with YOUR hip dislocated? If the leg is not bothering him with applied pressure, the chances are slim that it's dislocated. Unless it's a very slight dislocation or it's just not seated right. If my dog had been limping for a day, waiting another day would not be an option. Dogs limp because they are in pain - not for fun. My dog would be at an emergency vet getting pain meds and a diagnosis.
