A couple weeks ago I had to take Cosmo in for a really bad limp. He ended up being fine but did have soft tissue damage. The culprit was my grandparents dog, who plays very rough with him, sometimes pummeling him over and forcing his leg into weird positions.
I paid the vet 160 dollars in the end and went home with a limpy puppy.
He's doing well now though still can't play too rough as I'm worried he will regress and something will tear or get worse. My grandpa likes taking him and his dog Wednesday, the rough houser, up to this field to let them sniff around and play. The only issue is Wednesday is SO rough with him!
Today she was being rough so I stood up and said "WESNESDAY OFF!" As I have to do frequently, but he got really twisted about it and upset. He said "you know what they're just playing" and then said "never mind lets go" and stormed off. Hasn't spoke to me since!
How do I tell him that his dog just plays too rough with Cosmo without him getting all hurt and mad ?? I almost want to say fine then you can pay for his next vet bill!
