I think I'm going crazy! I don't know if Cisco is ok... So last night Cisco was playing with his little plush squeaky toy on the couch, he jumped of the couch and landed wrong and made this awful little yelp cry! When he got up he was holding up his back left leg and not walking on it. I immediately picked him up and began to investigate his leg, nothing looked out of place and I was rubbing and gently pulling on it and he didn't cry or yelp or anything. When I put him down he began to walk on it again. I had him rest on the heating pad until we went to bed. This morning I woke up and he's walking on it but I feel like I read into things too much because Im afraid he is hurt! Im thinking "does he always sit like that? Does he always sit this much? does he always stand that way?" Im looking at everything and thinking the worst.
I spoke with some of my family and they looked at him and told me im crazy because he looks fine and walks fine. When I look at him though I think hes not putting all of his weight on it, but I dont know because Im driving myself crazy over this.
I guess it comes down to whether or not to visit the vet. My vet bills have just been through the roof lately, and the vet already thinks im a hypochondriac. Is it possible he may of just sprained it or pulled a muscle? Do you think its ok if i wait another day to see his progress?
