So last night on the way home from the park my dog jumped out the window. The window was rolled half way up so he had to make an effort. I caught him by his leash in time to make sure he did not go under the back tire. I started cryin as I pulled the car over. He will let me touch and put pressure on his back right leg. But will not walk on it. He has is cruched up and is limping. HE is not yelping or crying. HE just wont put pressure on it. I am so worried. Anything would help. What do you think is wrong? Do you think it is broken?

Could be a broken leg, a dislocated hip, a pinched nerve, a collapsed spine. Any one or more could be causing the problem.
If you call your vet they will be able to give you some guidance. I recommend making the call before the damage is no longer repairable.
Think of what would happen it you...if you hit the pavement at the speed you were driving. Doesn't matter f it was 30 MPH or 50 MPH...OUCH!

His leg sounds very broken and crushed.
Take him to the vet and what might happen is that his leg may have to be removed.
If so there is no different care for him just being more careful around him.
He will still be very energetic and happy.
Take him to the vet to get a check up.
I'm not sure whats really wrong with him without seeing him myself.
But you'll get an answer from the vet.
Hope i've helped

The girl just wants an opinion! She might have already taken the dog to a vet and wants a second opinion from another vet. I'm sorry that I can't help I have always been worried about that happening but had never actually heard of it. I am sorry to hear about your dog, but you have to understand that if the person can't examine your dog they can't always tell what's wrong.

dogs r usually good at hiding there pain. If he wont put pressure on it still, it maybe broken or sprained. Either way a vet can get u some pain meds

most definitely broken or he has bruised bones. Take to a vet to get help, If you call one & you can't afford to pay the vet then it is wise not to give your name because if you don't bring the dog in they can press charges against you for animal cruelity even though it wasn't your fault. But not taking him to the vet would be considered your fault.

It's probably not his leg because if he'll ket u touch it's fine. It sounds like there's something wrong w/ his spine. U need to get him 2 a vet now. This could be a really big problem or it could be something really small.

I think you should go to the vet. What exactly are you waiting for?? If it was a person you'd be straight down to the docs, same should apply to your dog. No-one can tell you if it's broken or not without seeing it.

I don;t understand you people you get a pet & with that comes responsibilites... if this were a child would you not of taken the kid to the ER by now so treat your pet the same way.. get your animal to the vet if you can;t afford to take it then you shud not have a pet in your home....

OF COURSE YOU NEED TO TAKE IT TO THE VET. BUT IF THE DOG IS LETTING YOU TOUCH IT WITHOUT IT CRYING OR TRYING TO BITE YOU, YOU MIGHT WANT TO WATCH IT FOR A DAY AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. HE MIGHT HAVE JUST PULLED A MUSCLE OR SOMETHING. I'M NOT SAYING NOT TO GO TO THE VET, I'M JUST SAYING THAT I WOULD WATCH HIM A DAY FIRST, UNLESS HE GETS WORSE. IF IT DOES, THEN GET HIM THERE ASAP.....
