Please help us! Our rat terrier was hit by a car and had his back left leg amputated last Thursday. He still refuses to walk. Please help us!

Hutter, thanks for joining us, your future posts won't require moderation.

I'm really sorry to hear about your pup. Has he been seen by your vet since last week? What exactly do you mean by he refuses to walk? Can he stand up? Does he go to the bathroom by himself? When does he refuse to walk: on leash, off leash or both?

And is he on pain medication? Pain meds can make dogs lethargic and woozy. What kind of dose is he on?

There are so many things that can create this situation. We aren't vets so we cant' even begin to guess what it could be, so to put your mind at ease (and ours!), please call your vet and let him or her know what is going on. Of course do tell us more about what's happening and we'll try to help keep you calm until then.
