ozgirl2 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Hey BJ - Cody used to pull something whenever she ran! They can take awhile to heal up so don't worry much about Major!!! Maybe do some massage on the limping-leg... Cody always liked that (and really, who wouldn't?)

Jennifer Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Maybe Maj is seeing the attention Black Jack is getting and decided to get in on the action?

bjnno1 Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 black jack and major, stop scaring your mom! I wish they would listen to you!!! They are wearing me out!!!! Maybe Maj is seeing the attention Black Jack is getting and decided to get in on the action? Seriously, I do hope both continue to do well and that they are alright. I wouldn't doubt it.. when Black Jack first got hurt, Major turned into a MONSTER and kept knocking into him, zipping around and cutting him off, running in the back yard.... you might be on to something!!! Checking in and sending my love and prayers to you and the boys. Thanks Black Jack is totally back to his old self again, Major is still limping but he's not acting like it's bothering him at all. He doesn't act like he's in any pain and has been acting totally normal other than an occasional limp. It's not as bad as it was and there is still no sign of swelling anywhere so just going to keep playing it by ear and hope it gets better on it's own. Thanks for all the well wishes and checking in on us I really appreciate it!!!

bjnno1 Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 (edited) Thanks for all of the prayers, white light, positive vibes, good thoughts, etc.. if you have just a few more you can spare send em our way VET VISIT TODAY Black Jack passed with flying colors He examined his leg and since he responded so well to the Rymadill so quickly he's convinced it was just a sprain. He's back to 100% but advised against heavy exercise for a couple more weeks. Major on the other hand has NOT responded at all to the Rymadill (he's been getting 75 mg a day) half a pill in the am. half in the pm. (Maj weighs 66 lbs) He's been limping pretty bad since Friday and no improvement at all. He examined him and he has tenderness in both back legs, left one is a lot worse. Tried to get x-rays (only got one) before Major freaked out and went to the bathroom everywhere and started panting real heavy. Sooooooo rather than upset him anymore, no more x-rays. The one x-ray he did get, was not of the main area of concern so basically we know nothing. He advised to start giving him 3/4 of a 75mg pill in the am and 3/4 of a 75 mg pill in the pm and if no improvement by Thursday, we go back, give him a mild sedative and do x-rays again. Both boys are sacked out right now snoozing away we were in the vets office for over 2 hours today so boys and mommy are WIPED OUT!!!!!!

Fiona3 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Great news for Black Jack! I've been checking in to see how he has been doing and this is such a relief for you. Here's lots of good thoughts going to Major that he will recover soon. If he does not very run often and then went crazy, he may have strained his muscles and will be sore for a bit. Fingers will be crossed that this is what you will be dealing with. You must feel like they are ganging up on you (we've been there). Hey guys, give your mom a break!

bjnno1 Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 Can't really tell if Major is getting better or not yet... seems like he got worse AFTER the vet visit so it's hard to tell if he's better or not.

Guest greyhound_bug Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Glad to hear that Black Jack is all better. Sending prayers that Major gets better soon too. He could've been sore from getting the x-rays done . I know almost every time any of our guys have had x-rays, they seem to be worse for a day or 2 just from the way they've had to "pose" for the x-ray. Hopefully thats all it is.

turbotaina Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Can't really tell if Major is getting better or not yet... seems like he got worse AFTER the vet visit so it's hard to tell if he's better or not. That happens. When Turbo had an MRI, his first physical therapy treatment was basically for the soreness the MRI caused. Are they keeping Major on rimadyl or trying a different NSAID. Just like with people, not all NSAIDs work the same - some people like Advil better than Tylenol, know what I mean? He might respond better to a different drug. Sending good thoughts for your boys...

Staying on the Rymadill for now. I don't think I was giving him enough so he advised to up the dosage. I was only giving him 75 mg a day (half in the morning and half at night) he's now on 3/4 of a 75 mg in the morning and 3/4 of a 75 mg at night. So we'll see how that works for a couple of days.
