HopeForHounds Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) Jake started limping yesterday. He got worse through the evening, although I couldn't at first figure out where he was hurting. It became clear it was his right front leg and I began to think shoulder. I gave him some metacam and a few hours later added a tramadol. On to this morning and he couldn't get up on his own. I used a towel and once he was on his legs he was able to get outside and downt he 2 steps then return inside. His right paw is slightly swollen. I'm praying it isn't the TBD, he finished his second course of doxy at the end of July. On a positve though he isn't showing his usual set of symptoms so......... I hope for a simple injury. He isn't eating or drinking, refuse a piece of tuna from my hand. Now he's mad because I syringed some gatorade and water into him. Tough! He'll get over it right? We have a vet appointment at 3:15. I say this all the time, but I do love our vet. She wasn't at our regular clinic today, but at the one in the next town. We were able to get an appointment there instead of waiting until tomorrow. She came in and dropped to her knees and her burried his head in her chest. Jake loves Miki. She had his whole file faxed over so we were good to go. Decision - it is not the TBD phew! His foot is swollen, but he is really sore in his shoulder muscle, which is what I thought watching him walk last night. The swelling just drops down due to gravity. His whole leg is bruised too. Best guess is that he bumped into something or collided with Peanut playing or jumping on the fence to rid us of Squirels. We know he's a bleeder so Miki is pretty sure that is why he is so sore and bruised. So, rest, ice, metacam, tramadol and in a day or so massage. If it gets worse, or isn't improved considerably by Tuesday I'll take him back and she'll do an x-ray, but at this point she is pretty sure it's muscle and soft tissue.
