Hi there! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Signs of broken ribs in dogs include pain on manipulation or restraint, bruising in the rib region and even dificulty breathing or coughing. If observed at any time, Chico should be evaluated as soon as possible for assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a good night!
