Hello! I’m glad you reached out for a second opinion about your dog's leg X-ray. It's really important to feel confident in the care your furry friend is receiving. Let's go over some possibilities.
If your dog is limping or seems in pain, it could be due to a fracture, sprain, or even something like arthritis. X-rays are a great tool to pinpoint these issues. If there’s a fracture, treatment can range from rest and immobilization to surgical intervention, depending on the severity and location. For sprains or mild injuries, rest, a comfortable environment, and gentle compresses can help. Always ensure your dog isn’t jumping around too much during recovery.
Watch for signs like increased pain, swelling, refusal to use the leg, or changes in behavior like loss of appetite, as these can indicate complications that need immediate attention.
If you're unsure about a diagnosis or treatment plan, a video consult can provide peace of mind. It allows a vet to go over the X-ray with you in real time and discuss the best options for moving forward. Booking a video consult with Dial A Vet could be a good next step to ensure your dog gets the best possible care.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
