Riley is still limping sometimes but will now go for longer periods limp free. He seems to limp most when he first gets started walking after he's been inactive for a while and when he's tired. I injured my knee this fall and that's what I remember doing. I'm also remembering it took about 12 weeks until I was completely better. I'm going to give him more time and hope this heals up completely and hope to avoid surgery. It's not just the money, if Riley needs to have the surgery we will come up with it, but it's really the pain and recovery. I think it would break Riley's heart to have to be constantly crated for 8 weeks or longer. Plus when my DD had surgery involving cutting her bone and tendon re-attachment with a long recovery, it was very difficult and painful. However, she knew what was going on where Riley wouldn't understand. I hate to put Riley through that at 10 or 11 years old. Please juust keep those healing cocker prayers coming because we really can see improvement.
