A couple of pics of my sad old boy. He hasn't eaten anymore for me but is drinking and going out when he needs to. Right now he's laying on a bag of frozen corn. :blush

 

You can see his right leg is bigger than his left. He has bruising top to bottom right to his toes.

Jake seems to be a bit better today. He still isn't eating though :( I've cooked some ground beef for him so I'll try that in abit.

 

He did make me laugh though, I offered him his food this morning with lots of tuna in it. He touched a piece with his nose, then stood up and just looked at me, then walked as far away as he could. I accepted that as a no!

I really don't know whether to be worried, or if this is a normal progression of his injury.

 

When we left around 2 this afternoon, all was well. Jake can get himself up off his bed and is moving around better. When we got home I noticed that his ankle has a pouch of fluid and is very red. His whole leg is redder and he has bruising under his arm an on his chest. Not dark, just noticeably pinker. The whole leg is swollen and his poor foot is a plate. I know in humans, the bruising can get real colourful a day or so into things so............ that's what I hope I am seeing.

 

We've been doing some thinking, and........... He fell up the steps on Wednesday night. We have carpet ont he stairs and hardwood on the top. Legs kind of splayed out as he scrambled and got upright. Thursday when I got home from work he was limping ever so slightly (he'd ran the fence barking and playing with the dog next door in the am) The limp just got progressively worse during the evening.

The other really odd thing is he won't eat. Well that isn't odd since if he's hurting he won't But, he will if I feed him by hand, and very happily. He'll even clean up the mess if it falls. If I even show him a bowl, even a one of ours, he gets up and glares at it and leaves. I'm wondering now if he knocked his food bowl over (metal bowl on a plant stand) since it's near where he fell. I just can't remember and they know one of them over so often it didnt' stick in my head if he did.

Continuing with the prayers. . . I don't have any advice, you're already keeping a close watch... sigh. Silver keeps getting skinned spots and swelling on his back ankles... he clears up fairly quickly and it hasn't spread up the leg, but even that worries me so I'm extra empathetic. Will keep watching for updates... give him an extra kiss for me. Even though I haven't met Jake, I admire him from afar all the time :blush

Heading back to the vet at 10:00 we won't see Miki today :( but, let's see what fresh eyes can see.

 

Well, we go back on Tuesday when our vet is in and they have the staff to do the bigger stuff like x-rays. We did bounce all kinds of scenarios around, but didn't come up with anything that makes sense. He is on clavamox just in case he has an infection, which I don't think he does but better safe than sorry espcecilly with it being a long weekend.

Ugh! I don't know if he stood up the entire time we were gone out, but his wrist area is huge. We have to go out for Thanksgiving dinner and my birthday/Olivia's birthday celebrations. We can't take him with us so I'm thinking benedryl or melatonin will be in order. Off to ice the bugger! :huh

Came home to fresh bruising. Now I'm really worried. I'll be home all day tomorrow, today I guess, so I as long as things look better in the morning, I'll keep him very quiet if I have to sit on him.
