Ike is getting around better this morning; he can walk on his own although he's still limping badly. Watching him move in better light, it definitely looks like his shoulder is dislocated; when he puts weight on that leg, the leg seems to rotate outwards from the shoulder. It's kind of icky to watch.


He wanted to chase his ball this morning. Silly dog.


He hasn't lost his appetite, and he's drinking water fine as well, so no worries about his stomach getting upset. That would have been a problem, because then he couldn't take his daily medicine. He gets 75mgs of Deramaxx a day, and 10mgs Tramadol at night. Without them, he won't last long.


I'm going to call the vet in a few hours to update her.

:( I hope your dog gets better.

Thanks. He's walking a little better the more the day goes by, so I'm hopeful it was just a sprain. But the way his leg moved so unnaturally makes me shudder.
