My dog whips toys. Can they get hurt? What injuries are possible?

It is possible the collision may have caused injury or swelling to the face or surface of the eye. Eye injuries can be extremely painful and should be treated as soon as possible to reduce pain and scarring which may affect vision

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! He may just be a little sore. Continue to monitor him for now. However, if at any point he develops any lameness, pain, discomfort or any other sign, have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a great day!

Oh my. If you pull the legs beyond what the joints can handle, it will pull them out of the socket and possible cause severe damage to the nerves that are located in the armpit area (brachial plexus); however, this does not guarantee instant death for your pet because no vital organs (heart, lungs, liver, spleen, major artery) would be damaged. However, I would be more worried that your pet may become violent and injure your kids back if she is ever forced to endure this level of pain. Please have a discussion with your children and tell them the importance of playing nice with your pet Charlotte moving forward. I would also try to always supervise their play time together, otherwise, you will likely need to separate them from her until they are a bit older and can understand the gravity of the situation. I hope things work out well for your pet Charlotte. Take care.

If the eye does not swell or does not look injured or starts to tear or have a discharge, then likely there was no harm done. You may want to teach your puppy the word "no" instead of hitting or tapping it when it bites. This is normal play behaviour and one way to avoid that is to never get into the situation where your puppy gets tempted to bite you. Your puppy is also starting to teethe, and will want to chew more. You may want to get a chew toy such as a bull pizzle which it will be allowed to bite rather than you.

Playing with her toys in a general sense is fine. Tug-o-war - not a good idea. Playing frisbee or throwing a ball for her to chase - also not good. Going on walks and gentle hikes is fine. Short runs are OK too. You just don't want her to do a lot of jumping/twisting motions. Hope this clarifies. If you have more questions please feel free to post again!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Not to worry, this is no big deal. I can’t be totally certain but the picture appears that the little front teeth (incisors) are adult teeth. But the canines are baby teeth. And by the looks of the little bulges, the adult canines will be erupting soon. Long story short, this was going to happen to this baby canine sooner or later anyway!. It does not hurt very much at all and will probably fall out completely (or he’ll swallow it) in the next day or so. There is no way you’d be able to knock out an adult canine with a rope toy. So carry on with your tug-o-war and don’t worry if a baby tooth here and there are casualties! Best wishes to you and Xavier!

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It looks like Gary has a small subconjunctival hemorrhage (basically a small ruptured blood vessel). This should resolve on its own, but I recommend keeping an eye on the area to make sure that it does not get any bigger or cause Gary any discomfort. If you notice that Gary is pawing at the eye, or is having discharge or squinting, he should be seen by a vet right away. I hope all is well and am happy to answer any other questions you may have!
