Okay, so what I am getting here is that maybe I shouldn't worry about how he sleeps in his crate? Lol I'm glad that Gary isn't the only dog who doesn't seem to want a comfy pad in his crate
!
I have been giving him glucosamine ever since the visit at the vet though. It sounds also like muscle type injuries could take up to 6 weeks to heal, which means we are about half way there.
I will continue the glucosamine, not worry about how Gary sleeps in his crate, not let him excersize too hard (yesterday I did start letting him out in the back yard again just so he doesn't feel so cooped up all the time, but I am keeping it at once a day for 30 mins), and just keep close eye on him. If his limp ever gets worse of course I am running straight back to the vet, but so far it seems to be in between...not getting worse, but not getting better either.
Thanks for all the advice so far!
