Pippin Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 So last night, in the middle of the night, we had the triple yelp again, as she tried to re-position herself on the bed. I'm glad I'm going ahead and getting the x-rays on Tues. Quote Mary Semper Fi, Dad - I miss you.

Pippin Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 She yelped again last night, repositioning herself in bed. And at least twice this a.m., within a 3-hour period. So we went back to Doc, so she could double-check. She still sees no lame-ness, so when she does the x-rays on Tue, she's going to be focusing more on the spine. Gave her another thorough going-over, from ears to tail. I tease her that my dogs like to stump her. I just hate hearing her yelp, and knowing there's nothing I can do about it hurting. After we get the x-rays back, if they're inconclusive, I'll look into chiro or acupuncture, I guess. Thing is, Casey's afraid of strangers, and of most men, which just adds to the challenge of finding a practitioner for her. Poor girlie. *sigh* I told Doc that I knew she couldn't do anything for Casey today, but that I had to bring her in just so I felt like I was doing something. She understood.

Pippin Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 I just have to say out loud that every time she yelps it tears at my heart. Tuesday can't come soon enough. What really bothers me is that she's a dog who NEVER makes any noise (other than barking at strangers). She's scraped up her legs and never even whimpered about it, so the yelping makes me that much more concerned, because she's not a drama queen. And yes, it happened again, about 5 minutes ago. Whatever's going on with her is making her very "velcro." She normally just hangs on her doggy-bed in the livingroom corner, no matter where I am in the house. But she's wanting to be in the same room with me, which isn't normal for her. Quote Mary Semper Fi, Dad - I miss you.

Guest paulamariez Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 She doesn't get any sort of leg cramps at night, does she? Our Tiger used to get those sometimes in the middle of the night, but it was right after we got him. Also, did the vet check her shoulder? This past year, Domino pulled his shoulder and the only time he yelped was sometimes when he got up from laying down. And once in a while there was the tiniest hint of a limp. The vet thought too, there was nothing wrong with Dom, until she sort of took his front leg and moved it a bit to the side and he screamed. The vet gave Dom a shot of Metacam, I believe was what she said, and he was fine ever since. Just thought I'd throw my two cents in! I will keep your precious one in my prayers. Keeping all finger, toes and paws crossed for good results from the xrays. I think you are wise to have them done too. Never hurts to be safe!

Pippin Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) What a start to my morning! After a totally peaceful night (a yelp around 630 last night, but that was all), this morning all seemed well. She was fine when the dogs went outside a couple hours ago to take care of business. Then she came inside and laid on her dogbed in the livingroom, not knowing I was going back to bed (I didn't sleep well last night). I called her back to the bedroom, and she yelped when getting up from her dog bed, then a quick yelp when jumping up onto my bed (first time for that), and when she got up again, 5 minutes ago, she was whimpering as she got up (she'd been lying mostly straight, just a little curled up, with her head resting on me). She jumped off the bed, and immediately started screaming in pain, holding her back left leg as high off the ground as she could get it. She ran down the hallway, still screaming, and is now settled on her dog bed in the living room. Pippin, of course, was VERY interested in her screaming (a life-size squeaky toy? Cool!), so I grabbed him and put him outside. If I have to go anywhere today, I'll muzzle him. I've emailed Doc, just to keep her up to date. Her weekend is Sun/Mon, so I dont expect to hear back from her. If we get through today without a trip to the e-vet, I'll drop her at Doc's tomorrow and let them keep her until her dental/x-ray on Tues. I have to go to the office tomorrow, and don't like the thought of leaving her home alone with just the dogs to watch her. I gotta say - it really worries me that my totally stoic girl has been yelping so much in the past few days, and that scream tore my heart out. It wont' take much more of that to get us to the e-vet. update: I fed her a cup of kibble for breakfast (purposely gave her less than normal, in case she wasn't hungry). She cleaned the bowl. So that's good, at least. She hasn't budged from her bed in the livingroom since she got in there 90 min ago. I think tonight we'll all sleep together on the livingroom floor, so she won't have to jump on or off my bed. Edited January 4, 2009 by Pippin Quote Mary Semper Fi, Dad - I miss you.

Pippin Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 And another update -- she's finally lying on her right side, so I can get to her left back leg. So I knelt beside her, and was rubbing the thigh muscle a little. She was ok with that. Then I went a little higher, and as I rubbed over her hip joint, she yelped and swung her head around to look at me as if to ask what I was doing. No snap, but a definite NOT HAPPY. So I'm finally able to recreate the yelp. That's encouraging, but also disturbing. It was definitely as I had my hand on her hip joint. *sigh* Quote Mary Semper Fi, Dad - I miss you.

Pippin Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Well, she's still on her bed, where she's been since 9am. She was just in a sphinx position - hard to think she could do that with hip problems. No yelps since the one at 1130, but no attempts to get up, either (as far as I know). At some point, she'll need to get up, to go outside. I think both of us are dreading that moment... Quote Mary Semper Fi, Dad - I miss you.
