My Poor Puppy

So Dexter has been limping for a week and we had no idea why, we knew it wasn't broken and we knew that there was no trauma to his leg so we were baffled as to why he was limping around.

Well I finally broke down and took him to the vet this afternoon and he has Panosteitis which is like growing pains in dogs. My vet said it is very painful and can last several months before it goes away. There is no known cure OR cause, apparently it is just really random and will go away on its own over time...I am so happy that it isn't anything serious but feel so bad that he could have another 4-6 weeks before it starts to go away. They did give us some anti inflammatory medication that is supposed to help him with the pain but there is nothing that can just make it go away :-(

My poor little man is supposed to have restricted activities until we notice it going away, blah!!

I hope he loves his new brother as much as he loved this little girl, crossing my fingers :-)

My cute little man!!
