The weeks after the injury

So the two weeks after the injury on the 31st were difficulty.

On the first 2 days she was lame and refused to use the left rear leg for that limited time we had her out of the kennel to go to the bathroom.  The first thing to return on the 3rd day was her spirit and it made it hard to keep her in the kennel all the time because she wanted to be outside.  Over the next 4-5 days when she was out to go to the bathroom she was just put down the leg so that the toes touched and wouldn't walk on it.  The 2nd week she would walk gingerly and by the end of the second week the only noticeable difference was that when she was eat or drink she would kind of hold that leg up a little.

Over the course of the 3rd week maybe just a little fatigue with very short walks and after that and into now she's been fine.

On the next vet visit, which I believe was at the end of the second week he couldn't notice anything and gave her a clean bill of health.  In terms of differential diagnosis with the recovery she's had and the exam from the vet CCL tear (partial or full) or strain was pretty much ruled out.  The vet said it could've been a simple strain or that maybe she twisted her kneecap a bit.

Good stuff for as bad as it could've been and if you saw her now you'd never guess she'd had any injury.
