    Just got back from the vet. She felt around where Bruce told me he found sensitivity on his shoulder. We decided not to do xrays and give him pain meds. If he doesn't seem to get better in a week we will take the next step.
    She said she can't tell if it is fractured by feeling it. But even if it is, there isn't anything to be done about it. So pain meds and limited activity until he heals.
    I feel much better! I know he'll be fine because he is already walking better (and faster) tonight.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I'm glad that you took him to the vet to get checked out. Hopefully he'll recover quickly. Prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

    Thanks everyone! I am very glad it wasn't more serious.
    Last night he jumped up, because he heard the front door open, and yelped. Poor guy. BUT this morning at 3am he wanted to go outside (which is unusual for him). And when I opened the door he went running, almost like his leg was perfectly fine. But it wasn't, he's still limping. He is improving every day. I think the pain meds are really helping. I just hope they don't help too much and make it more difficult to keep him calm. I guess a few trips outside to potty isn't too much, even if he does run.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!
