What Can I Give My Dog for a Pulled Muscle?
Dogs, like humans, can suffer pulled or strained muscles due to exercise or an accident. If your dog seems to be experiencing mild muscle pain as evidenced by discomfort when touched or a slight limp, your dog may have a pulled muscle. Pulled muscles can be treated at home and usually do not require veterinary intervention. Muscle strain should be self-correcting within two to three days. If your dog has symptoms of a pulled muscle for longer than a few days, or if symptoms worsen rather than improving, he needs to see a veterinarian.
