Riley is a pretty rough and tough guy, and we knew that it wouldn't be long before we found our way to the ER for xrays... well that day finally came! He hurt his ankle jumping off who-knows-what, but it didn't slow him down. He just galloped around for a few days, and then the gallop slowly turned into more of a major limp. Then, one night before bathtime he was hobbling around and his leg completely gave out and he screamed in pain... that's when we decided it was time to get it examined. Luckily, the xrays came back without any signs of a break, and he was free to hobble around on his sprained ankle until it healed.
We also got instructions to "relax" and "elevate" and "ice"... but those items are easier said than done.
We found that 25 band-aids did the trick.
I am happy to report that the limping has stopped, and we are now back to running & jumping. :)
