Thanks, I decided to wait. He doesn't seem to be in any pain at all. My brother, a vet, arrives tomorrow and he can advise. Meanwhile, he (the dog, not the brother!) is eating and eliminating fine (outside) and he is running around as if there is nothing wrong (on three legs) My daughter is home visiting keeping a close eye while I am at work. Thanks again. I will let you know how it all turns out. Chris |
