Question

Hi my dog fell in to a fire place it was off and then a few hours later she was crying and in pain but now she is playing again what can it be? What shall I do if happens again?

Hi and thanks for posting. She may have endured an injury during the fall. If she cries out again or appears to limp, having trouble walking, pants excessively, becomes lethargic, or has a decrease in appetite, then I would recommend she see her veterinarian as soon as possible. Your vet will do a hands on exam and may recommend x-rays to help determine if there is any damage to the bone structure or internal organs.
