We got lazy and let the boys have their final bathroom break last night, unleashed and unsupervised, together in the yard (it's fenced). Jax immediately went over the fence and of course if big brother can do it, Kane thinks he can too.
They came back as soon as DH called them, but Kane came back limping badly.
We don't know if he sprained the leg going over the fence, running around outside, or if maybe he got kicked by a cow.
We were hoping that a nights rest in his crate would help, but it hasn't. He is very reluctant to put any weight on the leg, but being a stoic german shepherd he's not yelping or anything.
I'll be calling the vet today. I don't know if she'll want to see him first or if lacking x-ray equipment she'll have us take him directly to the vet in the city.
Anyhow, prayers and good wishes for my little boy Kane please.
