Hanging in there…

It’s been almost a month since my last post. It sure doesn’t seem that long. Bubba is still doing great despite giving me a good scare a few days ago. We were doing some running around town when I noticed he was panting despite not being hot. My heartfelt like it was crumbling. I knew the only real explanation was pain. When we got home I made him sit while l poked around his leg. when l touched a spot on his lower leg, he growled. I was devastated. All that night he laid around with his paw knuckled under and panted. I knew he was in pain so I gave him a Rimadyl which settled him down. Of course I thought the worst. It was Friday night so I was going to take him to the vet on Monday. The next day, however he was back to his normal boisterous self- no panting or growling when poking on his leg. What a relief! I was so terrified that we were-at the end already. I Just couldn’t see how it could be possible. I’m guessing that he must have just twisted it while playing or just overused it. Regardless, it was a very real reminder just how fragile and precious those 3 remaining legs are.

So… Yeah. about overreacting: I ended up taking Bubba to the vet today because he was having pain again They did X-Rays of his chest and leg and found NOTHING! So apparently he just keeps on overdoing it. How in the world do you slow a puppy down? Best thing that came out of this is the fabulous X-rays!
