Today was a very hard day for me... I guess for bohdan as well.
We spent a lot of time in the back yard sitting in the sunshine. At one
point he got away from me and ran and jumped up the retaining wall to
talk to the neighbor dog.
He also got very excited with the new puppy. He was play bowing and wanting her to play.
He seemed to be getting worse... He had more and more problems getting up.
He spent time sitting in the sunshine with his sore leg against the warm cement.
Before dark we took Bohdan on a walk down the street. Bohdan was not looking stable on his legs. He was using his hind legs evenly, but they were wobbly. We only went 5 houses before bohdan had to sit down and rest. Bohdan didn't want to return home, and we had a very slow walk to get us home.
When we got home, Bohdan settled on the front lawn, and would not get up.
When he settled down he cried. When I finally helped him up and into the house it was with much coaxing and pain.
Since then he has been very somber. I took Bohdan out back to potty and he had trouble getting up. His hind right leg could hardly support him in getting him up.
I have applied heat to the leg. The swelling of the right leg is below, the knee.
We have a 10 am appointment with the vet tomorrow morning. I am hoping I will be able to get him into and out of the car on my own.
