My dog has a deep leg wound, diarrhea, and won't eat. Is she okay?

Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Female | spayed | 40 lbs

My husky got cut on the inner leg by a piece of tin . It’s pretty deep, but everyone says she’ll be fine and the vet isn’t open. She now has diarrhea and doesn’t really wanna get up or eat much. I can imagine she’s in pain , but I don’t know what to do to help her ? Will she be okay ?

It sounds like her cut may have become infected and is causing more problems. Try to keep the wound as clean as possible for now and plan on taking her to the vet as soon as you can. She may need to have the wound stitched closed and will probably need some antibiotics and pain medication. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.
