Question

How long does it take for a pulled muscle to heal in a dog?

Answer 1

If the dog has pulled a muscle the dogs pulled muscle should heal on it's own within 2 to 3 days and the dog should be feeling better.

If the dog is still hurting after a few days then the dogs pulled muscle may not be healing properly or the pulled muscle is worse than it seems.

In that case you might want to take the dog to the vet to make sure nothing more serious has happened to the dog other than a pulled muscle.

The last time my dog had a pulled muscle it took 3 days for it to heal.

I called the vet and they said that if the pulled muscle didn't heal within 3 to 4 days to bring the dog into the vet and have him checked out.

But luckily the dog did heal.

Just make sure the dog gets rest and doesn't injure itself anymore.

Answer 2

 The healing time depends on the nature of the injury and on the activity of the dog. Sometimes dogs with an active character can continue to load a large paw. If persuasion doesn't help, then you can use such a wheelchair - https://thepetsmaster.com/best-dog-wheelchair/  This will reliably fix the diseased limb before healing. You can rent such a wheelchair from your vet if this is a short term.
