Carter managed to break his leg. Again. In the splint. Worse than the first time.
We don’t know how or when, just that this morning we saw that he had chewed a hole through his bandage directly over the break, and this was worrying enough that we took him to the vet first thing.
So now he gets a full immobilization splint/cast. And crate rest. And tranquilisers.
Yes, I’m serious about the tranquilisers. The vet offered to prescribe Valium for us, too. I’m pretty sure she was joking about that part.
Aw crap. Poor Carter!
Oh no! And he’d been doing so well, too.
Poor puppy. Poor you! How long will he be out of commission?
Four to six weeks. The vet’s assistant looked at us and said, “Yep, it’s going to be hell.”
