HE wont walk anywhere, not even to his pee pads, so I carry him, feed him in his new oversized bed that we got him. All he does is nap and chew on his flossies. SO I am freaking out thinkin he is not doing better. I decided to take him outside and let him lay around in the grass get some fresh air, what do u know? HE CAN WALK< RUN< PLAY, you name it he does it. I could even catch him for a good 15min. So we go back it, he goes to his little bed and is pitiful again, is he milking this or what >? LOL smart lil guy!!!! |
Oh, yes, Armani is milking it for all it's worth! I had a smooth collie years ago that hurt his leg and limped. I took him to the vet and it was only a slight muscle pull, but he got tons of affection and all of my attention. This went on for a couple of days and I saw him outside running and playing with my other dog with no limp, so I went out to congratulate him on being well. As soon as he saw me, he started limping again! He did it for a couple more days and then gave it up. They are very smart!
