Be prepared to spend some money. Although most pulled muscles are easy to diagnose, the vet may want to do xrays. Most likely they will prescribe something for the pain as well. Don't freak out, but be prepared for a possible expensive vet bill. Although she is obviously in pain, she is not about to die any time soon. It sounds what is bothering her isn't a disease, so it should be easier to treat, but then again you never said anything about her eating or drinking, and what kind of shape her body is in, for example swelling, lesions, etc. For exampe, it could turn out to be an abscess as well.

I would take your dog back to the vet & find out what's wrong with her. I'm assuming the only reason she is jumping back is because she's in a lot of pain & doesn't want anything/anyone touching her.
I wouldn't blame her either, she sounds from what you've told us that she's in so much pain! I don't know if this is something that can be fixed or can be helped in anyway with pain meds or anything.
So yeah, go back to the vet or call up the vet who you went to & let them know it's not getting any better. I can't tell you what's wrong with her. [ amygwen's advice column | Ask amygwen A Question ]
