Day Thirty

Bacci does for laser therapy again today. Yesterday totally, totally sucked. I took him to the park to walk around for about 15-20 minutes. Just casual walking. There is a wall next to the parking lot that raises up to the ground next to it. The wall is a couple feet high, about the same height as jumping into the back of my Xterra. Well, Bacci was walking around and peeing on everything. I took him to pee on the wall, and he jumped ontop of the damn wall! I totally freaked out and shouted, "No!" I was too late. I tried to pull on the leash to keep him from jumping up, but he made it almost to the top of the wall when he hit the end of the leash. Me pulling on the leash just made it worse, then he 1/2 scrambled up the rest of the wall. :( OMG, I was so freaking. Later when I put him in the car, he was holding up his back left leg. I wasn't sure if he was just getting adjusted and ready to move around in the crate or if it hurt him. I started crying and got him out of the car again to check his leg. He seemed to be kicking it out to the side a bit, but was not limping. I thought it looked "off" and was just balling my eyes out. I brought him right home and gave him some food, Rimadyl, and his other pills for relaxing his muscle. I haven't seen any limping tonight, but OMG, I'm watching him like a hawk and super worried and super stressed. I have to tell them tomorrow at therapy what happened. It's not like you can prevent everything with these dogs! Not when you are going weeks and weeks and weeks with no exercise! They get frustrated and want to move around, and you try to keep them at a restrained WALK at ALL times... And it's been more than a MONTH since he's done ANYTHING. It's so fucking depressing... but I just pray I over-reacted and I pray I see NO MORE LIMPING anymore. The limping the other night just psyched me out, and now this.. It was a bad day... Could hav been worse. He could have yelped in pain and totally been limping, but when in world is he going to be fully better?!?!?!?!?!
