Here are some reasons why your dog might still be limping after 6 weeks:
* Underlying medical condition: The initial injury may have been more severe than initially thought, or a secondary condition may have developed.
* Incorrect diagnosis: The original diagnosis may have been incorrect, and your dog may have a different issue entirely.
* Re-injury: Your dog may have re-injured the same leg.
* Infection: The injury may have become infected.
* Chronic pain: The limping may be due to chronic pain from the initial injury.
I strongly urge you to contact your veterinarian immediately. They can examine your dog, run tests, and determine the cause of the limping. They will be able to create a treatment plan to help your dog recover.
In the meantime, here are some things you can do:
* Keep your dog calm and restrict their activity.
* Administer any pain medication prescribed by your veterinarian.
* Follow your veterinarian's instructions carefully.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to your veterinarian if you have any concerns.
