Positive thoughts please
« on: January 28, 2012, 06:33:14 PM »
Dennis isn't right at all , he's been fine all day been in his crate but been out for a weem4 or 5 times. Looked happy in himself but wasnt mad like he usually is.
Just had him out for a wee , he came out ok then just stood outside and wouldn't move , I got him inside and put him down and then when he tried to move he yelped.
To be honest I'm in a bit of a panic I'm on my own with the children hubby is at work and I can't physically get him to a vet. I don't even know where the emergency vet is.
I've got a horrible gut feeling that time might be running out for my favourite little boy  :'(
Please pray it's not as bad as I think it is.

I hope things aren't as bad as you fear but if you do need to get a vet, ring the emergency vet and request a home visit.

Sending lots of positive thoughts to Dennis  :luv:

I really hope Dennis will be ok - sending lots of positive thoughts from Roxy, Bobby and I. Is he still eating and, more importantly, drinking ok? Hugs  :luv:

I'm just wondering weather it's worth giving him tramadol. I've put him in his crate he has had his previcox . The vet gave me some tramadol to use should I ever feel he needed it ? I'm trying really hard not to panic but I can't help but  :'( thanks for your replies

Trust your instincts, you know your boy, if you think a Tramadol would help him, then go for it.

He is still eating fine but strangely hasn't had much to drink today ? He is still weein which is a good sign . He's strangely walking quite well but is much slower than usual.
I'm going to find emergency vets number now and see what they say ? I didn't realise they would come out ?
