My dog injured its front paw – the front leg keeps trembling, it won’t put weight on it, it keeps licking the paw and panting, and it went out to look for plants to eat. What’s going on?
An injured front paw usually shows as the front paw not bearing weight and the dog licking the paw pad. Because the wound is painful, trembling and panting may also appear, and with severe pain there can be vomiting, loss of appetite, and lethargy. A dog eating plants is generally a self-rescue behavior arising from fear of being poisoned or dying - the dog believes eating a certain plant will save it, and this may also be the dog signaling a cry for help to its owner. Therefore, the owner should immediately check the wound on the dog's front paw to see if a foreign object is embedded or if there is uncontrolled bleeding; if possible, remove the foreign object and press with gauze or Yunnan Baiyao to stop the bleeding. If you cannot examine or handle it yourself, take the dog to a veterinary hospital promptly for a thorough examination and symptomatic treatment.
