November 15, 2009: Some time on Thursday evening, Brí sprained her rear, back ankle. She was limping slightly; however, the limp got worse. She had difficulty putting weight on the leg; you could feel a little swelling. Irish Wolfhounds grow quickly and awkwardly–they're gangly puppies–so it's not unusual to a have a few sprains here and there. She was taken to Rose City Veterinary Hospital on November 13, Friday; X-Rays were taken, but, aside form the swelling, all was well. In fact, on Friday afternoon, she was walking better and was able to put weight on her back, right leg again. The vet put her on Metacam, an anti-inflammatory drug. By Sunday, November 15, she was doing really well; she's essentially back to normal. There's no sign problems: she isn't limping; she can stand up without a problem. She even managed to jump up into the minivan today. The swelling around the ankle has gone. She'll have another dose of Metacam tomorrow, unless there are signs of pain, that's it.
