Fluffy again

Dunno whether its related to the presvious incident or not, but now she
seems to have a sore right from leg. She won't take any weight on it unless
she has to, and if she has to, she yelps.

Unlike on the weekend, where it seemed her back was the problem, she seems
to be able to sit and lie down
with ease - its the getting up that bothers her. Ditto with steps -
seemingly not an issue going up, has a real hard time going down.

Shes gone from a healthy happy 'ageless' dog into a geriatric old lady over
4 days. This is 'second day I will remember', and I fear the third one is
way too close for comfort.

She'll be making another trip to the vet this afternoon to see whats going
on.

Purrs for Fluffy, and for you!

It seems to happen this way-- it's not exactly the gradual decline you
expect. It seems so quick. Stinky was a "young" cat for so long, that his
aging process seemed very quick to me. Purring that her troubles are
fixable and you have plenty more time together.

Purrs on the way. It may actually be from the same incident - sometimes
aches and pains can come on days after the exercise (especially for us older
folks).

Honey, is it possible Fluffy simply has arthritis? It may be something as
simple as this. Or she could have jumped up on something and strained a
muscle. Lord knows I have a hard time doing what I used to do and I'm
nowhere near her [dog] years. Purrs continue for fluffy.

It sounds to me like she may have strained a muscle and have on-going
discomfort from her hose-related injury. The vet should be able to
give her an injection of an anti-inflammatory and maybe some pills
which will have her feeling better in no time. Fox strained his neck
when we were washing him a few months ago and it put his whole back
out (referred pain) - an anti-inflammatory injection and a few days of
pills later and he has been fine ever since.
Of course, Fluffy is probably like Fox and is not above milking a
situation for all that it's worth!

I wouldn't panic just yet. You might have thoroughly over-exercised her
with the hosepipe play. You have to remember she's an elderly lady now and
be sensible on her behalf. She certainly won't be ;-)
Dr Websell prescribes a week of rest with a little walk twice a day to
stretch her aching muscles. She should be much better after that. Old dogs
who feel well often do far too much than is wise for them. It's up to us to
remember that.

Around 45 years ago, my step dad brought home a white german shepherd
puppy named Rebel. He was a great dog - especially for a 9 year old
boy - I swear he understood pretty much everything I told him. Anyway,
when he was a year old we got his little sister, Duchess. Almost as
soon as Duchess arrived on the scene, Rebel developed a bad limp and
could hardly walk. Step dad took him off to TED to be checked out. The
next day, TED called to say he was ready to go home. When we got to
the clinic and went out to the kennel Rebel came running, but about
half way to us he remembered he was supposed to be crippled and
started limping. After quickly figuring out the jig up was, he stopped
gave up on the limp and returned to normal.

We are still purring and praying for Fluffy.
