Get better little buddy. |
Max will be 16 weeks tomorrow. The vet checked his body and all seemed fine. I believe x-rays my be the next move. Max has not limped today and I'm keeping him very stable with no play.

He didn't really act that 'off' but sometimes he'd just lay around and be less active than he 'normally' was...
I hope he's feeling better soon! Try some baby asprin!
Puppy kisses from Fynn and hugs from me! |
Thanks for the story. I don't see Max in any pain whatsoever, and he is not limping right now. I'm not ready to give him medication yet.
I'm hoping perhaps he played to hard, or landed wrong or something related to minor trauma.
