Buddy's back has gone again...........
« on: August 27, 2006, 11:05:16 AM »
....by the looks of things  :'( :'( :'( Almost 12 months to the day when it happened before.

Happened yesterday afternoon. We'd been out to the shops, got back to two giddy mutts only Buddy was yelping/whining in pain and could not move very well. Josh took Jasp out for a walk to get him away while we looked at Bud's. He was clearly in pain and was trembling etc. I gave him a Rimadyl but he was very distressed. I tried to crate him but he became even more distressed so I took him out. He just couldn't settle down, he was panting hard and his ears were a mess from the dribble caused by his panting.

He did manage to settle for the night and has reamined continent. This morning his back is very archeddddddddd and his tail is well tucked down. He won't leave my side and his lying position is very strange.

He's had another Rimadyl and I think we'll be off to the vets this morning.

I'm trying to think positive thoughts and to keep calm. I'll let you know how he goes on.

Thanks for the good wishes people - very much appreciated.

We're seeing the vet at 12.15 today. We're lucky to have such a good service from our vet.

Watch this space.

Oh no Pammy, I really hope it's not gone again, and he's just pulled something.

Let us know as soon as you can, thinking of you.
