Guest greytbookert Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 T started limping this morning after 1st turnout. We didn't see him slip or crash into anything and there are no tell tale signs of zoomies gone wild. He is barely putting weight on his left front leg but doesn't seem to mind any type of range of motion manipulation until you get to his neck. He finally settled down around 11 am, after getting a dose of tramadol (vet's advice) but you can tell he is in pain, the poor boy. He won't even get up on "his" loveseat... he looks pathetic on a doggie bed. We'll obviously watch him over the next day or so and if there is no improvement, off for xrays we go. I hope the powers of GT prayers will make this just a soft tissue injury! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good, good thoughts coming from Worcester It's funny that you say that since he is one of the youngest of the pack, and I just don't consider him old. I know deep inside that he is old... 11.5 is not young but I've just not accepted that yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbhounds Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 It's not uncommon to see a limp (in the front limb) when they hurt their necks--the nerves run from the neck right down their legs. If you don't see improvement I would get him to the vet asap--if it's his neck he'll need steroids to get the inflammation down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest VWBuggin1963 Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 That is the same as with Parachute. He ran down the stairs and now has a pinched nerve in his neck. He won't lift his head as high, had to lower his food and water dishes, will not go up on his couch either. He is now restricted from the stairs for the next 3-4 weeks and taking a buffered aspirin twice a day. Vet suggested rest for 3-4 weeks then wean off aspirin and see how he's doing. Good luch with T.

Guest greytbookert Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 How's he doing tonight Deb? Last night he looked pathetic! However, this morning T is much better! He is lifting his head and walking almost normally. He even did a little trotting this morning! I'd say that once again, GT comes to the rescue and has magic healing powers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest greytbookert Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 T is limping again this morning It doesn't appear to be his neck this time but it is hard to tell. He is restless, head hanging low, appears to be limping his left front. He did let me manipulate his head/neck... When DH gets home from work, he is going to see how he is and then we'll decide if he needs xrays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
