Poor Little Magoo....

Sometime last week as we were running around outside with Magoo and she injured herself. We did not notice it right away but she now has a slight limp with her front leg. We think that she hit a hole while she was running around at the farm across the street....we have been going for evening walks to get some exercise in for her and they are always holes from trees that they have dug up. Needless to say she went to the vet yesterday...

Karl took her so I wouldn't have to bundle up Max and I assumed that they would do x-rays off the bat - apparently that is not the case when it comes to animals. The vet told Karl that x-rays is typically the last thing that they will do in this particular situation. Because she doesn't seem to be wincing or whining when you touch her leg or when she walks on it he thinks that she may have just pulled a muscle so our little Magoo is on steroids for the next 2 weeks and we have to try and keep her immobile. That is like keeping the rain from falling down! After that if she is not better than we will do x-rays and if she is not better after that they bring in a ortho- something or other to take a look at her. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the steroids is all she needs.

On another note how awesome is it that I figured out how to post our little videos of Max! I am so happy that you all get to see Little Max in action! Enjoy!
