Help Needed Tonight

[AndrewJ]

Hiya all now I aint got alot of cash with me right now about a tenner if that but my dog ( white samoyed ) has been limping about since a fall down the stairs while bouncing about, now he uses the paw but is having whimpering does now as it seems to be getting more sore.

I am located in Rochdale and am wondering if there is ANY VETS on this forum who will come out and have a look or if anyone knows of a vets I could call out my gf is in tears and its breaking my heart to see both her and her dog in this way.

he is still eating and drinking and trying to play but I am worried as a dog only cries like he does when he is in pain.

Please any help would be nice.

Cant you call a local vet and pay him later?

[AndrewJ]

They are closed so as I know I have tried ringing a few I got from www.scoot.com and all on answer phone.

[Damien]

Gourleys who are based in Tameside have a 24 hour Emergency Service but I bet it will cost you mega wads

however, upto you, their number is 0161 330 2514

Been on phone to a place in Wardle called PET-Medics if I take him in its £85 not including treatment :eek:

However after a check list of where to push for this and that we have determined he has bruised the underside of his left paw near his ribs after sliding down the stairs due to chasing his chewy ball thing.

Going to take him to the local vets in the morning if they are even open.

Thanks all for advice :D

Hope all goes well tomorrow Andrew, let us know how you get on.

PDSA will treat an animal for free.Check in yellow pages for your nearest one... :)

Dog has been seen by a vets in Wardle who are not the cheapest but belong to a group which my gf knows and they are dealing with him, he has sprained his paw and it does hurt alot to walk on so he is being sorted out.

Certainly is not cheap but he is more then worth it.

Might be time to go and get pet insurance mate. Won't cover you for this accident but gotta be a sound investment just in case.....

Freaky I've just spotted this thread, I've just been trying to get to money supermarket to get a quote for pet insurance but they seem to be down. Hope your Dog's o.k. Andrew. :)

[AndrewJ]

He should be gonna be funny if his paw is strapped up hobbling out of vets on 3paws.

[Halcyon]

Goood luck. Hope your dog gets better soon.

[AndrewJ]

Lets hope he don't fancy running down stairs so quick again :|
