Hit and run.

---

Um... my friend and I were walking her mother's poodle a couple hours ago and somehow she got loose and she... how do I say this. She didn't really get run over but she was hit, but not killed. She sorta injured her paw, ear, back, and tail... The car driving sort of hit her but didn't roll over her she was like tossed to the side a little since it was a sharp turn he made, and he kept driving like the heartless fool he was. But right now we don't know what to do because the dog is whimpering and is bruised up a little, bleeding a little. We washed her and put some ice on her cuts and we rubbed her while she was laying down but she's still hurt pretty bad. We were gonna go to the vet but the only closest one around here is like 5 miles. We're the only ones home and nobody in the neighborhood that we know is home or actually cares. So do you have any idea how we can help the dog. My friend is freaking out and she has asthma so I'm in a no win situation. Thanks a bunch. I'll be back to check responses later.

unfortunately since the dog cannot speak, the dog cannot tell you what hurts. I'd call the parents and get the dog to the vet ASAP.

The problem is that you don't know what injuries she has. There could be a broken bone or internal injuries. You should call the girls parents and have it taken to a vet.

Jeez, you don't need to be a genius to figure this out. Get your ass off the computer and take the dog to the vet! Take a cab if you have to.

internal injuries are very likely. I had a dog that was hit by a car too. outside he looked fine, he was just dirty and crying. When we took him to the vet they said his liver or his kidney was bruised and there was some internal bleeding that pooled up in there. his ribs where also bruised but lucky none were broken. No one would have known all of this if they hadnt take him to the vet.

You seem to have alot of issues.

We took a cab (my birthday money tears) and we found this little pet place. Her dad came before we were up so I was sent home. Hope it's ok though. Probably won't hear till tomorrow.

Thanks for that. You're so great. That's usually what happens when you live in the area I live in. Issue rhymes with tissue.

Lish, sexpot, great minds think alike....just what i was thinking too.
