Gloria, take a deep breath and know you are doing everything right to get Jake's issue resolved. That's good you made the vet appointment and honestly I would wait until normal hours too as this doesn't sound like a critical emergency. So don't beat yourself up for waiting.

Unfortunately it's not unusual for a Tripawd to pull a muscle and have mobility issues. Usually it happens just from playing too hard, walking too far, or just an accumulation of high impact activity that's catching up with him. And until you get him evaluated there is really no point in speculating because you will make yourself sick with worry and heartache. That's not what Jake wants right? Right!

Most times when members report something like this (and it happened to our Jerry and Wyatt too), it is a pulled muscle that just needs some R&R and pain management to help it heal. Your vet can evaluate him to find out. Also, please keep in mind that the Tripawds Foundation can pay for your first rehab visit , so please check out the link so that you can get reimbursed, and ask your vet for a referral so Jake can heal quicker OK?

Let us know how the visit goes tomorrow. We are sending tons of Tripawd to you and Jake!
