Update on the dog...

I know my dog is accident prone. But wait, he was doing good with the can and the No bark command. I was playing with him, tossing the ball and he was running to get it. He loves to play. When all of a sudden he stopped running and started crying. I thought he'd probably bumped himself on the coffee table or something. So I picked him up and he seemed fine. But when I put him down he ran right into his crate. He was in there about five minutes when he started crying and crying. I was thinking he'd gotten caught some way.. I went to look and he was holding up his left front leg. I got him out and he can't stand on that leg... he was shaking and crying. Finally I got him into a position where he stopped crying but was still shaking. Called the vet. (Saturday of course)... they will open the office to see him at 4:30.

I'll be back with the diagnosis. Please hope it isn't broken. This dog is a deer chihuahua.. he's taller than a regular chihuahua, but his legs are stick thin. I've read they aren't supposed to jump off of furniture or beds or anything because their legs are weak. But he jumps up and down all the time. Not really any way you can stop that.
