Even Labrador Retrievers Can Get Hurt
The other day I saw a commercial on television with Erin Brockovich. It was about health cases involving Mesothelioma which is a type of cancer related to asbestos exposure. It reminded me that I should blog about what happened to Cooper last week. He is getting a little older but still likes to rough house it a bit. He jumped off of the front porch and into the snow bank last Sunday afternoon. Well later on in the day it became apparent to us that maybe he pulled something because he was having a hard time getting up and down stairs and onto the couch.
Dogs are a lot like us, they can get minor and major sprains and strains from doing vigorous activity. We didn’t panic and rush him to the vet but instead just gave home TLC and made sure he didn’t over extend himself for a couple of days. It took him a few days but now he is back to normal and the crazy labrador retriever he is. Even these seemingly industructable dogs can get hurt so you have to keep your eye on them.
