Late Monday night, my little best friend started limping and carrying his left hind leg, the same leg he broke early last year. That had me worrying something had gone wrong with the plates he had inserted to repair the breakage. Woke yesterday morning to see him clearly worse, so everything was cancelled to get him to the vet. I had to leave him there for closer inspection and a X-Ray. In the end, one of the claws that was damaged in the accident was infected due to an embedded grass seed. So thankfully no issues with the previous surgery but he is on a course of antibiotics and pain relief. If the antibiotics don't clear it up they may need to remove the offending claw. He was pretty sad and sorry for himself, no walkies for a while, and he is looking a bit odd with saved legs but a full coat everywhere else. And I'm $525 lighter. He broke my heart when he followed me to the door for walkies this morning, and was waiting for me when I returned.
The good news he is much better today, moving more freely though still a little cautious on his feet. I'll do anything for him because he is always there for me. He knows when I'm "off" and I know when he is too.
