Injured Pup!

Yesterday was such a nice day...until It took a downward turn! The weather was really nice, so we decided to take Beau to go check out this place on the lake where I had been told we could feed the ducks. We had some lunch at this little burger joint on the lake and then fed our left over French fries to all the ducks. Ducks are so cute, sea gulls not so much, haha!

We went on and did our grocery shopping and came on home. We let the dogs out in the backyard to go potty and we were unloading the groceries from the truck. Beau had fallen asleep on the way home, so I was taking him upstairs to put him in bed. While I was upstairs, I heard the dogs barking and then it turned into what sounded like fighting, then into the hurt cry. I ran downstairs and hollered for Kolby, but he was not there. I opened the door to see IDK sitting there with her leg bent back behind her just dragging behind!! I just knew it was broken! By now, Kolby came from upstairs where he had been changing his clothes to help me carry her inside. She wasn't putting any weight on it and was just dragging it around behind her still. So we gave her a few minutes to see if she was just scared or something (wishful thinking, I guess) and then off I went to take her to the vet.

After about an hour, x-rays, and about $300, they couldn't find anything broken or displaced. So the best he could guess was she either pulled or strained something in her knee/hip. Sent her home on pain meds. She is so sad and pitiful :-( Today she is bearing some weight on her leg, so hopefully with time it will get better. Not my idea of a fun day at all!!!
