This woebegone looking soul has had a rough day. On our prewalk inspection of the yard and making sure no other dogs had left their mark on his territory he slipped. He has damaged the ligaments in his right shoulder and now is on enforced rest. Never have I heard more pitious cries as the ones he made. For five minutes he sat leg dangling in the air crying in pain.
I had him hobble into the house while I immediately called the vet and made an appointment. His vet is very good and in 15 minutes we were in his office. He's getting anti-inflammatories and something for the pain. Ligaments take so long to heal. It will be a month possibly more before we can walk our route again.
