Well my dear sweet Cody had to visit the vet yet again. We've been to the vet clinic way too much lately! I know Cody is in agreement with that as well! Even Simon would agree for that matter, since he hates being left at home alone!
I've noticed that Cody has a bit of a limp when he first gets up to walk at times. He isn't exactly a young pup so I've been figuring it to be arthritis. However, I've been watching him close to see if he gets any worse. It's been such a slight limp that I haven't been able to tell which leg he's having problems with.
Today it became crystal clear as to Cody's leg issue. I noticed this morning while brushing his coat that he has some puffiness on his front right leg. The puffiness felt very strange to me. I called the vet and was able to have Cody seen this afternoon. He has a mild sprain. How he sprained it I have no clue! It is way too hard to pinpoint when it occurred. We go up and down stairs all the time. Cody is super playful with toys and has been known to get into a squabble with his little bro. No way to guess when the sprain happened. It's not like a kid that can instantly tell you when they get hurt. So Cody's leg will need 4-6 weeks to heal. He'll be re-checked at 4 weeks.
He really isn't letting it bother him too much. He's been acting fairly normal. He isn't as playful as usual of course. Otherwise though, he's been typical Code-man. Then again, what exactly is typical for Cody?....Good question! ;)
