I am so sorry about your dog. Your mom is right. if in doubt she should go to the vets and not to worry they make cast for dogs just like humans. some dogs even like the attention. i once had a dog that when company would leave he would limp to get our attention. maybe that is the case here but if he is not better by tomorrow the vet should look at him in the mean time lots of love and attention. let us know the outcome

i would just take her to the vets but for right now, keep her in an isolated room where there is nothing to high for her to jump on. Give her blankets and a bed and also feed her in there. if wanted you can give her toys but I would try to get her to sleep as much as possible. be gentle when you need to pick her up and also, make sure the food you feed her has a lot of vitamins and protein in it. You could even give her some milk to drink. Don't feed her treats for right now because she needs healthy stuff in her system and only healthy stuff. You could try wrapping her front legs in an ace bandage or gauze. try icing her legs too. I hope all of this helps! Good Luck!

Call your vet now and answer the questions they will ask. If there are certain types of pain, there may be serious injuries. If you brother only rolled onm the dog, broken bones aren't as likely as bruising or soft tissue injuries. Only a vet can ask you the questions that will let you now if it is an emergency or not. Good luck.

If there is allot of swelling take her to the vet now. It is probably broken but if she can put weight on it when she walks she pay have just bruised it, sprained it, or even cracked it which needs no medical attention use you instincts if you think it is that bad your mom may have to poney up the office visit fees for the vet but in either case you can probably wait until tomarrow if there is very little swelling.

Could have broken or bruised something real bad. Take her to the Vet.
Yes if she has a broken bone the Vet can repair it. Dogs are not like horses. They heal pretty fast and pretty good.
Until then keep her warm and comfortable. And don't be handling her too much.

I am shore your brother didn't intentualy roll over on the dog. She may have broken a rib. Take her to the vet they will do x-rays and then you will be able to know more. I am shore your dog will be fine. Good Luck

The only person who can give you any answers is your vet. Your puppy probably needs to get x-rays at the very least. She could have some internal damage....there are many possibilities. I suggest that you get her to the vet as soon as possible.

Sorry their is no way we can answer that, you will have to take her to the vet to be checked. My guess is she is bruised, but who knows. Also dogs shouldnt be allowed to jump like that, as they can pull tendons, or tear them. Dont pick her up by her arms, get ur arm under her whole body to pick her up.

Good grief - you shouldn't be picking a dog up by her front legs anyway! A dog who's in so much pain that she's crying needs to get to the vet - sooner, not later!

The vet is a professional. She can help your dog and your dog will be fine in a few weeks.
