This time it was not the people ER but the dog ER. And this time, it was not the chiweenie....it was the labrador!
Last nite after dinner, we took both dogs over to the school to let them run a little bit. We spent about 10 minutes running around, tossing a ball, chasing the dogs, etc. All was well. Then, Drew threw the tennis ball and Daisy turned to chase it. We are not sure exactly what happened because it was dark and hard to see but she did something to her back right leg and it was flopping around like it was broken. I was closest to her so I grabbed her to help her stand up. She seemed to struggle and then got her leg underneath her. We then picked her up and carried her to the car. When we got her home she was clearly hurting but could walk. She could even walk up the stairs.
We got some dog pain meds from the great dane family across the street and watched her thru the nite. She seems stiff today but is walking. And of course, being a lab, she thought she was going to go for a run with me this morning! And now she is depressed that I went without her!
I hope it turns out just to be a tissue injury and not ligaments or bone.
