Dislocated Toe Now Sore Shoulder On Same Right Side. Is He Over Compen

[Guest DawnsPT]

My 10 yr old boy dislocated his right rear non weight bearing baby toe on his right rear leg last week. All is well now. But why it was in pain he was s contouring his body to take weight of it especially the front hunch. Now hes really favoring that & doesnt want to walk. It is painful as I was examining it and he nip me.

Took him to the emergency vet did X-rays all is fine with those . She believes its his ligaments. He has to stat on the arthritis meds & now Tramadol.

Any thought or stories. Im at wits end.

Thank you

Chiropractor - sounds like he has cramped muscles or a blockade due to moving the wrong way. And ask the vet to cut the nail on the dislocated toe really really short. This way he will walk in it more painfree because the nail won't touch the ground.

Cuddles and wishes for a speedy recovery.
