First Injury

I'm really bummed. Sidney is lame in his left hind leg. Last Monday, he hit the high jump which is a solid wooden jump. It was set at 8 inches high. The vet could move his stifle in his right leg but not his left leg. She did Chiro, acupuncture, and prolotherapy on both his stifles. He is a dog that is full of energy so keeping him from jumping on and off furniture will be a big challenge. He is to be kept calm and rested for 5 days. After 5 days, he can be walked on a leash but still no training or tricks. He's not allowed to go up and down steps. The vet will reevaluate him in 3 weeks.
