Their female GSP, Lily, was taking a drink form the water as the pack horse walked behind her. She finished and backed right under the step of the horse and the ensuing commotion spooked the horse and he kicked the dog. She was injured bad enough that my son had to carry her across the saddle all the way back to the trailhead. They then spent hours and $$$$$ at the vets. The first attempt to put her leg back into the hip socket was unsuccessful. With the Xrays, it was evident that she has hip dysplasia that was making it more difficult to repair the issue. She is now at home with the leg and hip immobilized. We'll see how things work out in 5-6 weeks. Hoping it will heal while immobilized or there will be more $$$$ and probably surgery for the dog.
