I have thought of the crate but haven't tried it. I really think that Max will just scream for hours. It's certainly an option though. The main issues are from 7-9am and then from about 5-8pm. Both of them will sleep most of the day if I don't entertain them or wake them up.
For some reason I assumed it would heal much faster, even with activity. I feel I've wasted 2 weeks not keeping him confined and he's showing very little signs of getting better. Starting yesterday we finally got very strict with his activity. I'd rather hear crying and screaming than see limping. I may have to try his crate later this evening. Or, like I said before, put Cooper in the ex pen. He'll just sit there for about 20 minutes and then fall asleep, while Max lays on the outside. |
We all flew back home the weekend before she came up limping. We stayed at my sister's house, which has hardwood floors, which she isn't particularly used to and she slipped/slid a few times while fetching toys. She also went back to her old doggie daycare to play during the days, and since it is basically her favorite place on earth she could have overdone it there I suppose.
By signs of pain, I meant limping. If I had let her she probably would have raced around and resumed all normal activities while limping.
It's so hard to keep these active little guys calm for any reason. I just kept reminding myself the sooner we got this healed up the sooner she could resume normal play. She wasn't happy with me, but I think she got used to it too. It just became the routine for those few weeks. As long as they won't wrestle in the xpen, then that would probably work if Cooper is what gets him all riled up anyways. I kept Lane's crate open next to Rory's, and she is so attached to Rory that she laid in her crate all day next to her.
