I was with my mum and cousin at my cousins house. My mum and my cousin (taryn) went out to the post office and I stayed in. The door must have swung open while they were in the shop so i went after them i realized the dog had shot across the road and barking at another dog through the gate. I went and got my mum and taryn out of the shop. Taryn start shouting CHARLIE and i turned around and started walking across the kurb it narrowly missed a car but the next one hit him full on we were all screaming it was so scary. The dog jumped straight up and ran into the house with only a scratch on its cheek. But it normally sits on the sofa and its back legs are shuffling and it ws hard for him to get onto the sofa also it usually legs it up the stairs but it took him about a minute to get up them. Im really worried and vets here. By the way the number plate off the car was halfway down the street.

I have also been in this situation hope everything turns out okay, my dog was not that lucky as the car was travelling to fast and he passed away with internal injurys and bleeding at the scene. He Got up but collapsed a few minutes later. It is awful for anyone to go through and thankfully you have a vet there now. My heart truly goes out to you and let us know how things turn out.

I'm so sorry that this happened to you, but you guys need to get the dog to the vet. Bad things can happen if he has breaks or fractures in his legs that go untreated. I could not tell if you are trying to say that there are no vets in your town, but if that is the case bring the doggie to the next town over, or call an emergency animal clinic and let them know your dog's symptoms and see if they can help determine what the problem is. Good luck

You really should take your dog to the vet as soon as possible. Even though he got up and ran home, he could possibly have internal injuries, as well as go into shock. Call your vet and if he is not in, get the emergency number that they usually leave and call it. The longer you wait, the worse it could get for your pup. Good luck, and I hope it turns out ok for everyone.

You need to take it to a vet. Dogs can tolerate a lot of pain and if the dog is not doing its normal activity it could have something wrong like a fractured bone. It would be cruel not to have the dog checked out.

The dog needs to be taken to the vets immediatly. With out a full exam and possible x-rays your dog may die. He is also probably in severae shock which also needs to be treated.

Your dog could have severe internal damage/bleeding. You need to get it to the vet now! We cannot x-ray your dog through the internet for you.
