greytpups Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Sure hope it's something treatable and soon. Poor Rocky...and poor you and Ken . It's so tough when we know something is wrong with the pups and they are hurting. Jan with precious pups Emmy (Stormin J Flag) and Simon (Nitro Si) and Abbey Field.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyhead Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Could the hunching and yelping be from pain due to the bunched-up muscle? Shane was acting like Rocky a few months ago, minus the hunching. Finding nothign else wrong, they treated it as pain. After a few days of rest and muscle relaxer, he was fine. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to try something like that? In any case, hugs to you and scritches to Rocky. I know how hard it is to struggle to help these guys when we don't know what's wrong.

RobinM Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I am so sorry to read this, Heather. I know you do not have a diagnosis yet. It doesn't sound too far off of what we had experienced with Beau at one time. Is he swollen in the spot where there is the lump? If so can they take some fluid to test it? What about doxy for 10 days? If there is nothing they can find and if they don't think it can hurt him, I would definitely try the doxy. That has saved us on many occasions when we (they) had no idea what was going on.

Guest KennelMom Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I'm still waiting to hear back from the vet on the bloodwork, but Rocky is feeling much better this morning, even wagging his tail and not hunching. His symptoms have come and gone in the past so maybe it's just that. He was started on the Antirobe yesterday morning...maybe it's already making a difference?

BluegrassGrey Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Could it be his neck? Poor guy! The local group had foster dog that was stiff,and couldn't lift her head. Opiate pain meds didn't even really help her- acupuncture nearly completely took care of that girl's problems. I hope you find some answers soon. Please keep us updated.
