You can consider having acupuncture done on Benji, which may help with the pain from the leg muscle. Hydrotherapy (swimming) is good for dogs with injuries as it helps build muscles in a low impact manner and the warm water is soothing. Finally, you can see the vet for pain medications. Please do not give Benji any human pain medications as many are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given.
