Dante injured himself this weekend some how - we really don't know what happened. He seemed OK this morning, I heard yelping from the dogs room later in the day so I went to check on him, and he seemed fine. When they went out he seemed stiffer than usual but nothing note worthy. When my hubby let them out again later he said it seemed like Dante's back leg was bothering him. We put him in his crate to rest him and keep the girls from pestering him and I heard him helping again. Went to check on him and he couldn't even stand properly. We did get him moving but he's walking all crooked and twisted, seems resistant to put weight on his front leg (but doesn't react when touched or stretched) and won't go far. He also can't sit or lay down properly. He also yelped just laying beside us without moving.

We are taking him in tomorrow as soon as they can squeeze us in - but if they can't get us in until later what's the best way to keep him comfy for the day? Right now he's crated with some cushy bedding so he doesn't slip at all if he does move. He's yelped once but seems to be resting comfortably otherwise. I need to keep him separated from my daughter (2) and the other dogs so they don't bother him, but would he be better off somewhere where he can move easier than the crate, or is the crate best right now?

My poor buddy. I always knew this day would come because he's such maniac, I just hope it's nothing serious!
