My puppy is limping and won't lay still after an injury. Help!

Question

My puppy seems to have pulled her tricep. She knocked me off my feet, and I fell onto her middle. i’m 130 lbs, and she’s 42 lbs. when she got up, she started to limp. This happened this morning. I put a warm pack on her leg, thinking it was her leg. But then I was looking her over and checking to see if pressing on ribs caused pain, she whimpered when I gently pushed her armpit out. What can I do to help her with pain? She won’t lay still! Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | unspayed | 3 months and 26 days old | 42.1 lbs

I am sorry Oka is not feeling well. You are correct dogs can get soft tissue injury from trauma just like people. However I would recommend taking her to the vet to make sure nothing is broken. Oka could have a hair line fracture/broken bone that is also causing pain. The vet can also give you pain medication that will keep Oka comfortable and safe. Hope that helps
