Dessie:
Act like a dying swan  :cry:  :roll: .....  I mean act like they are really poorly and you can't find a thing wrong with them, even go as far as taking them to the Vet and they can't find anything either and the dog acts perfectly normal at the Vet's  :wink:

Well after his evening walk last night Sebastian (running around after rabbits and chasing Douglas across the beach) is playing the dying swan routine ... and is hobbling around with one paw up ....

Of course I have checked it to make sure everything is ok and can't find anything wrong with it.  And he is putting weight on it and can walk on it but insists that it is hurting him :wink:  :wink:   He even managed to rush into the kitchen and have a chicken wing as soon as he heard the bag being opened  :wink:   His Dad took pity on him last night and let him sleep on the bed and honestly you should of seen him, hobbling around the bed trying to keep his paw up  :wink:  and then flopping back down again  :wink:

Just interested to see if there are any other Oscar Winning Cocker Actors out there  :wink:

i had a newfie several years ago who decided to limp every time I wanted to enter her in a show  :?:  of course I thought something was wrong with her and we always let her stay at home. The third or fourth time in a row I decided to bring her to the show anyway, limping or not.  Of course she limped around the ring.... BUT afterwards when we walked out to put her in the car and drive home, there was no limping at all..............  :evil: She was never shown again :!:

Millie does this Dessie!
She's been "hobbling" on one of her front paws ( I'm not sure which, as when I get down to watch her walk she thinks I'm there to give her a love!). I got her up on the chair the other day and throughly squeezed, poked, flexed and wiggled her paws and legs joints, but nothing made her flinch or cry out ... yet she'll still hobble past the living room door whilst you're watching Tv, stop to look at you, and then hobble on by, in quite a pathetic manner ....  :twisted:  :D  :lol:                    

Silver Surfer (indiesnan):
LOL Kelly, the little actress.  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Vegas has done this before. I shut his foot in the door(ooooops) so of course, I was grovelling apologies and giving him loads of kisses and he walked it off. I gave him some Metacam that night just in case. But, my God, did that dog milk it :roll: The thing that gave him away was his lack of consistency...when he though nobody was watching him, he'd be walking fine :lol: Of course, when he really did injure his shoulder about 7 months ago, I didn't take him into work straight away as they think I'm neurotic enough and I wasn't having him make a fool of me. Mind you, felt a bit stupid when he had to get x-rays sent off to an orthopeadic specialist a week later :oops: Of course, the first question I got asked was why I hadn't brought him in sooner :roll:

Dallas is no better. He's a little wuss anyway but Vegas got him just below his eye when they were squabbling and, my god, he screamed for about 3 minutes :shock: He then proceeded to walk around like he'd been blinded :roll:  I had a check, also took him into work so they could have a check, and there was the tiniest little wound, so tiny you could barely see it let alone do anything with it. If he'd carried on much longer, I was going to make a little eye patch for him 8)
