Joan, That is my biggest concern is that he might have to have surgery on his knee. He is back to baring his teeth if you touch him wrong and in hiding. I hate that this has happened and he seems to have taken a step backwards. I just hope he bounces back soon. Carol and crew Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®

I heard the most blood-curdling cry and then they both were at war. Dolly started shaking all the time and as me and my neighbor put it almost vibrating. Several trips to the vet before they realized that her knee was injured. She had to go through knee surgery because of it. So, although Maxx's knee might have some previous injury to the knee, the little fight could have put the icing on the cake.

The vet feels that Maxx has a patella luxation. It was not the other dogs fault though. Apparently Maxx spent a year (11 months) on cement and he is about a pound overweight and together they can cause hip and knee problems. We had noticed that Maxx has a habit of stretching his rear leg all the time and that is a sign of tendons slipping, or something like that. Anyway when Blue tackled him it just made him strain and thus the pain and inflammation. He is on steroids and once the pain is less we will do an MRI and see what is going on. So he will recover it's just a matter of when. He is looking very pittiful tonight so I gave him a special treat. But as of tomorrow we are going remain faithful to his diet.

Unfortunately Maxx is having some pain. It appears he has popped his hip out of the socket! So now it is steroids until his hip can be put back in place. He looks so pitiful I just want to cry. I am so grateful that I printed the commandments that were posted the other day because I was furious at Blue for fighting with him. But I remembered those words and realized it is what they do. -- Carol Muchacha, Bella Rose, Chibbie, Blue, Cooper, Ruth Anne, Gracie, ChiChi, Granny, Holly Noel and Maxx Made by Parken -- Carol Muchacha, Bella Rose, Chibbie, Blue, Cooper, Ruth Anne, Gracie, ChiChi, Granny, Holly Noel and Maxx
