On Thursday my hiking partner and I went on a leisurely 5.4 mile hike. Sometime during this hike he ended up hurting himself. Friday we went to the vet and they said he pulled a muscle in his back and we went home with some pain medicine and told to rest for a week or so. This morning I wake up and he wont move his back legs at all. We rushed to the vet and were immediately sent to a specialist in Vermont. He ended up rupturing a disc in his spine and was brought into surgery. Doctor said he was a tough guy due to how well he was handling how much disc material was in his spine. Well after 2.5 hours in surgery, several of thousands of dollars later, and one stressful day... Im happy to say Ryley is expected to be able to hike the 20 remaining Adirondack High Peaks we have left with me this summer!!!
