I need help or advice, my dog is in pain.

Last night, my 30 lb daughter fell on our 2lb Chihuahua. She cannot move it or apply any pressure. She just cries. It is swollen, but I didnt feel any broke bones, but then again, Im not a specialist at this stuff. She is laying on a heating pad. Im thinking about giving her 1/4 of a baby aspirin tablet. It says for dogs, 5 mg/ lb....but just to play it safe, Im going to only giver her 1/4 of a baby aspirin.  She can retract her leg a little bit, as if she doesnt want to put pressure on it. (so maybe its not broke?!) What do I do ladies? I need help fast : (

Everything is closed today, so vet office is not happening  until Friday : (

As small as your dog is the 1/4 tab. should be plenty.  Keep doing what your doing with the heat.  If it was me I would (try) to ice it a little also.  Then get him in to the vet tomorrow.  Good Luck!!!

you can give her a whole baby asprin i've done it with my chi chi ( abreviated i call him that lol) but the vet will tell you its fine to give a whole one and is there any emergency offices there should always be one some what close and if not i would get the dog to the vet tomorrow asap it could be its back or anything my dog (same breed) fell off the couch by hisself and was acting funny and it turned out that he messed up his back pretty bad had alot of problems and medical bills but he's fine now we had to wait a day to get him seen and it was okay but i would keep giving him the asprin today and a whole one theres probably alot of pain and the heating pad sounds like a really good ideal good luck to you and keep us updated

If she is in that much pain, maybe call an emergency vet clinic.
