Well, Max has hurt his back before and I did a few things:
1) confined rest, in a crate, expen or something similar
2.) Hot pack the back to stimulate the blood flow to the area
3.)NO STAIRS
4). If your vet can prescribe you some muscle relaxants, sometimes the tension alone from the pulled muscle can set them up to hurt themselves anymore.

How is Lexin doing?

I hate slippery floors too, especially at the vets. You would think that thin, removable rubber mats would be used in areas where there is a lot of dog traffic.

Anyway, hope your pupper is feeling better soon. Let us know the diagnosis.

Good News. It was just a strained muscle from slipping. She has been rest and only allowed on her feet to Pee and she is doing alot better a couple more days of rest and she should be good.
