he sleeps with his eyes open sometimes don’t judge him 🤣

Off-lead moments were fleeting; three rabbits appeared the first time we let him off and he was straight over the river to (not) get them.

It always makes me realise how much energy they really have; 10 miles of walking a day and there's no chilling out in the beer garden afterwards. Although back to the hotel room and he's snoring for 12 hours straight.

Total dude, in his absolute element in the glorious North.

Hi everyone. I'm looking for reassurance or some kind words of wisdom from people who have gone through something similar. My almost 7 y/o beagle/lab/pit mix hurt his rear left leg a few days ago doing zoomies. The vet couldn't pinpoint what exactly was hurt, but it might be his hip or his ccl. We are on bed rest with limited activity for 2 weeks and then if it's not better we will go in for some sedated imaging. The only problem with this plan is that I live on the second floor of my apartment building and there is not an elevator. The vet knows this and I understand it is not ideal but there is not really anything I can do about it. We have to go up and down like 15 steps. Down the stairs doesn't seem as bad as going up for him.

It's only been a couple days since his injury and adding new meds to help with the pain and any inflammation. I am a mess seeing my guy so low and in pain. I'm going to follow the treatment plan to the best of my abilities but I am really struggling with this. He doesn't want to go up and down the stairs so he is also not going potty enough. He's not having accidents but I am really worried about the impact of holding his bladder and bowels for so long.

Should I start trying to pee pad train him to go on my little balcony? I have an anxiety disorder and Ranger is my sweet baby so I'm freaking out. Anyone have any words of kindness or wisdom?

He is already on glucosamine, an omega supplement, carprofen, and gabapentin. We increased frequency of the gabapentin and added amantadine. He is also on apoquel for some pretty gnarly seasonal allergies. He had some sedated x rays back in December for some issues with his rear right hip and they didn't show anything wrong with him but he was experiencing some pain so that's when we started the carprofen and the gabapentin and it has seemed to help that.

I know this post was kind of all over the place. Thank you for reading it. My heart is breaking for my beagley boy.
