Maybe shin frature
My daughter is 12 years old. We have a full grown German shepherd. He accidentally got out of the yard and my daughter tried to get him , but he ran really fast and his head hit her shin really hard. Her shin bruised within minutes of it happening. It hurts for her to put pressure on it. Do you think the dog's head could of fractured her shin?
