How to Keep a Pup Down When it gets injuried

Hello,
today's Topic is from a friend who's Aussie Pup got hurt Thanks for the topic Julie Hope Bailey Feels better soon.

What do you do when you have a pup who loves to run and play? but gets hurt? ok how about a hurt paw and is limping what do you do to keep them down and clam? well its hard to do that when they are young and want to go out and play. do you put them in a crate? you can but they will lick at the wound and that can make it worse so what do you do? well I was sitting here thinking about that after I got the text from Julie and this is what I came up with.

1. give the pup a nice hard chew bone or toy you can freeze it this will help take there mind off of the paw for a little while anyway. we use a product called soother spray or cream its made for animals and takes the pain away.

2, you can use a calming pill that you can get over the counter like at all pet they do work and it helps keep them clam and relaxed but not to the point they are out of it.

3. when they have to go outside for a potty break take them out on leash so they don't try and run off and check the paw for dirt and clean as needed.

4. if it doesn't get better soon call your vet for help sometimes they pick up stuff like we do they get splinters in there pads or a small cut.

we hope that Hopis little sister feels better soon so they can go play again
