Apparently, I don't have enough to worry about with Delta being gone. Now Raven is hurt. I have no idea how she did it, but she's injured her left hip. I afraid it may be something chronic. She hasn't done well in harness lately. About 10 days ago, I let her run loose and she barely kept up with the team. Raven is a running maniac and would normally be well ahead of us. Now she can't jump up on her doghouse. When she tries she barely gets her front paws up and she screams in pain. When she sits, she tucks her left side under instead of sitting straight back. She is weightbearing on all her legs and eating ect. She's not playing with Deuce though.
If she were a normal dog, you'd never know anything was wrong. But Raven is not normal. She's a energetic, goofy, hyperactive, squealing ball of fur. She's not even making her happy sound--which sounds much like an injured hog! I often tell her that I'm looking forward to the day she slows down a bit, but I don't want it to happen because she's in pain!
The vet can't see her today. He would if it was an emergency, but since she is weighbearing and eating, it's not urgent. She's going in tomorrow morning. Today she's supposed to stay quiet and I'll give her some Metacam.
Argh, there's always something....
