[Dailydrool] rupert's injury - please read tonight if you get this

[kacy green]

Hi droolers. 1st I appologize we've been remiss with drools. I am still on
jury duty - it's been 4 weeks!

Onto our "issue": Rupert's arm is still bothering him. I thought it was the
paw/wrist area over the weekend and he seemed to be getting better so we
never ended up going to the vet. He's been getting extra crate rest and
minimal play/activity since Sat. But tonight he is in pain. He can't seem to
get comfortable and he's crying/moaning. I felt around, applying slight
pressure and he yelped when I pushed near his shoulder.

I definitely will go seek vetrinary care tomorrow, but what can I do to help
him tonight? Is there any over the counter meds I can give (people or
canine)? Should I try to ice it or maybe use a heating pad? I just feel so
sorry for him, he's miserable. Is it worth it to go to the ER for a shoulder
injury? Its not exactly an emergency but my little man is in pain :(

Please help, thanks a bunch!
Kacy with Cowboy and Rupert
