What to do for a newborn puppy with a leg injury from its mom?

Question

We have a 6 day old puppy litter after off 8 mum has laid on front leg and the puppy seems to be in a bit of distress it's whimpering can still move around on it but I wanted to know if anything I can do it home what treatment can I do at home

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, there is no home treatment for this. The puppy really needs to be seen to make sure there wasn't any serious damage done to his leg, as that can affect his future growth. Newborn puppies are extremely fragile, and if he's in distress, he needs medical attention now. I would take this puppy, his littermates, and his mother into the vet immediately.
