First aid for dog
My neighbor's dog got away from him on a walk and got hit by a car. They got her to a vet right away and X rays showed a broken pelvis which the vet said may or may not heal. Best case is the dog will recover and worst is that the dog may die or be paralyzed.I want to give basic first aid remedies but don't know what potencies are appropriate for dogs. Its a large dog.
Can I give Arnica 30c or 200c. Should I give Aconite?
If the pelvis cannot be set, but may heal on its own, should Symphytum be given or not?
Thanks for any and all advice. I'd really like to help this dog recover.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Arnica would be a good first remedy. You can also use an arnica ointment on the outside, if that's possible with the fur.
If there are cuts or bruises, you can use Calendula ointment on them from the outside.
If the bones have been set correctly by the vet, then the remedy Symphytum can be given, as it will speed the healing of the bones.

Thanks for the reply. Since it was a traumatic injury, should Arnica 200C be given or is that too high for an animal?
I don't know about treating animals so I don't know if the potency guidelines are the same.
Thanks,
