Broken

As I began to think Pequeno was feeling better it turned out to be that I was wrong. My dad and I took Pequeno to the animal hospital on Wednesday around three-thirty in the afternoon.

As soon the vet called us in he told us that Pequeno had dislocated one part of his bone on his right back leg. The vet also said that Pequeno has to wear a cast for four weeks and needs to take medication to help him calm down a bit, so he won't be wanting to run or play around that much while he is wearing the cast.

When my dad and I arrived home with Pequeno. I put Pequeno in his warm bed right away. " He lays down in his bed all quiet, no sound coming out from him just pure silence." Field notes 11/5

I wonder what he's thinking about?

Around seven o'clock I have to give him his medicine. "I have to give Pequeno his medication for four weeks; right after he takes it he lays down and tries to hide under his blankets." Field notes 11/6

Will it take more then four weeks for his leg to get better?

What should I do for Pequeno's long term injury?

According to Vet Info on "Long Term Care For a Dog Leg Injury" it says I have to determine the method of healing, to follow Pequeno's vet instructions, and to give the attention he needs to feel better. I just have to be there for him like he's always been there for me. Pequeno is a strong small dog. Pequeno knows he has to have his leg better soon, so he can run around again.

Listening?

Pequeno has been feeling a lot better, he has that cheerful expression that tells me that he is happy once again.

"His ears pointing up, while his long white long tail is curled up in a c-shape figure, he gets excited once he hears my voice call out his name to go outside my frontyard." Field notes 10/29

"He starts running back and fourth, so fast as if he is a cheetah trying to catch it's prey" Field notes 10/29

While we're outside he spots my neighbor's dog named Sparky.

"Pequeno spots my neighbor's dog Sparky right away, he gets too excited everytime he sees him; Pequeno quickly wags his tail and tries to play with him." Field notes 10/29

I wonder why Pequeno gets excited when he see's other dogs?

"I called his name to go back inside,  but he wouldn't listen to me. He was still with Sparky waging his tail; it was hard for me to get him back inside." Filed notes 10/29

I wonder why he didn't respond to me right away? Why did he ignore me?

According to Positively "What To Do When Your Dog Won't Listen" it explains that if I want Pequeno to listen to me more when he's around other dog's. I have to motivate him with rewards by making him feel good about himself and to also use any rewards to grab his attention quick, such as using toys, play, praise, or simply being touched. I hope rewarding Pequeno will make him listen more while he's around other dogs or anything around him that distracts him easily.
