so after our visit to the vet, bohdan was doing very well no limping he didn't look too stiff etc. so i thought another walk would be good for him.
so we set off around the block around 10pm. he was walking fine eager to be going. i thought i would see how he was doing and we would maybe go back at half way around the block or we would continue on.
he was doing well at the halfway point so we continued on. he lay down on the front lawn at one of our neighbors houses. i let him rest, catch his breath and then asked him if he was ready to go. he got up immediately and we continued on. we hit this last 6 house stretch to our house and he wanted to go the other direction. i told him we were going home, and he immediately flopped on someones lawn. i thought oh no i had gone over his limitations poor boy is in pain.
people passed us on the street and bohdan didn't cry, lunge or bark.
i was able to get him up and get going, but he only went a few more steps, so i called shari and asked her to come down to the end of the block and bring trillian so we could maybe get bohdan home.
he looked like he was in so much pain, limping and not moving very far, and when he was laying down the was happy as a clam.
i went home and got a towel and we used it as a sling to bring him home.
and i was beating myself up for over doing it with him and trying to figure out what was hurting him.
about 45 minutes after getting bohdan back into the house he got up off the livingroom floor and walked just fine on his own.
i think he was faking it...
