Going Limp
Jan. 15th, 2020 06:14 pmAs of Sunday, Buster seemed to have recovered from his lameness.
Monday, when I got back from work, he was limping again, worse than before, and this has continued.
I have two possible conjectures. On the one hand, the vet gave me two pain meds for him, one of which ran out on Sunday. On the other, Monday was the first day since this began that I'd left him home alone (well, with Gracie); that means that, to go out, he had to use the rather steep doggie steps to the garage rather than the shorter step down to the back porch. (For that, I open the doors to and from the porch.)
I'll be taking him in to the vet Friday or Saturday. It's odd. It doesn't seem to be hurting him; he's as joyful and bouncy as ever, just on three legs. (He does put on a look of concentration when he has to put any weight on that leg.)
