Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you got your muscle pull while lifting your dog.Probably you are suffering from muscular pain.Treatment of it is rest and analgesics (diclofenac ). Muscle relaxant such as thiocolchicoside also give relief. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. Vitamin B-complex and Vitamin C supplementation can used to promote healing. However you can get chest x ray done to exclude rib fracture.You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.
