Torn ACL and not putting any weight on the leg. He must be commiserating with me and my knee problems. Surgery is usual for active dogs so they can get back to being active, but for old, inactive, small dogs, rest may allow it to heal. He has pain medication, but it is very sad to see him on three legs. So I put him in his crate to begin the rest, and he is already crying to be let out.
I think Pie bumped him and he slipped on the stupid wood floor. When Bloom was infirm, I couldn't get her to stop bumping into and running him over either. I suppose when you have a large gerfy (sp?) dog, it is something to consider when adding small dogs to the mix.
Poor, poor Blossom. It shouldn't happen to a dog. Especially such an old one.
