I got my dog back - he has a ruptured ACL and will have to have surgery. The really interesting side note is that in his previous life (we got him when he was 6 months old, he had been a stray) he had acquired a bit of buckshot which shows up rather clearly in his xrays. The vet says they see that a lot. All I know is my doggie is one tough customer.
The other interesting thing is that he seems no worse for wear - he limps but doesn't seem to be in pain. He doesn't even act like he has been sedated. I guess an ACL is nothing when someone's "popped a cap in your ass."
This does explain one thing though. I think whoever loaded him up with shot looked like the only person he hates: my friend Paul.
Looks like? ... hmmmmm
