When you meet with your veterinarian you will need to provide accurate information about your dog's injuries. By giving your veterinarian this information, they will be able to start treating your dog more quickly and efficiently.  Tell your veterinarian exactly how and when your dog fell. Inform your veterinarian about any signs of injury that you have noticed. Let your veterinarian know about any first aid you have administered. Tell your veterinarian about any past injuries or surgeries that your dog may have had. Be ready to provide basic information about your dog including age, current medications, or other health issues. Your veterinarian will likely perform some diagnostic tests and will administer certain medical techniques to treat your dog's injuries. Review some of the following possible tests and treatments that your veterinarian may perform.  A basic physical exam will let your veterinarian learn of any surface injuries as well as the overall condition of your dog. Orthopedic examinations will check for any injuries to the bones, joints, muscles, or affected range of movement in your dog. This examination may include an x-ray. Neurological examinations will be ordered if your dog has hit its head during the fall. If your dog is walking oddly or seemingly unaware, this test can help determine if your dog's nervous system was damaged. After your dog has received initial emergency treatment and has been cleared to go home with you, your veterinarian will likely give you home-care instructions. These instructions must be accurately followed to ensure that your dog will have a quick and full recovery.  If your dog is given medications, keep up with the schedule. Make sure your dog is consuming them completely if administered orally. Keep up with changing any bandages that your dog may need. You may need to apply ice or heat packs to your dog's injuries. Make sure your dog rests and keep activities to a minimum while injuries heal.
