Your Pet Did What!?!

Good luck with that one. He may let you know when he is ready.

Thanks, NH. My plan is to just keep an eye on him and encourage rest as much as he will tolerate. He has been pretty willing to just lie around today. Well, lie around and snuggle. Poor boy is very sad. If he isn't better in a couple of days, I will take him back to the vet. He is moving like I do when my hip hurts. I think it is his elbow or shoulder. Makes me sad to see him so pathetic. :(

I think it is his elbow or shoulder

A heating pad or warm water bottle might help. It seems as if he knows he needs to take it easy. Hope he feels better quickly. It's so hard to watch our pets suffer.

My pup just tried to save me from the vicious squirrel.

Max killed another squirrel on Sunday - he hates them.

H is away and Max is taking the 'look after Mum' talk very seriously.

Tonight, I took the pooches for their walk and we met 2 of their friends with their Mum. I was playing with one of the other dogs and she wouldn't release the ball. I put my 'strict' voice on and told her to let go. Max leapt in and bowled her over and growled at her.

My friend and I thought it was so funny, she was impressed at how protective he was.

Oh dear, Max has just cut his leg. There is a nasty looking hole. I'm waiting for H to come home so we can battle through the snow to the vets.

I've just switched pet insurance but luckily (well not for Max) as it is an accident he is covered. I'd guess they may have to knock him out to be stitched up. I can see the £ signs mounting up.

I'll let you know how it goes later.

 

[Britt.f7]

Oh Kp, I hope he is all right! Please let us know how it goes. It is so hard when a pet is hurt, it's like a young child who can't tell you what is hurting. I'll be thinking of all of you!

Thinking of you and Max, hoping all is well.

My daughter got a puppy for Christmas. She is a Maltese and is just now 12 weeks old, still weighs less than 3 pounds...tiny little fluffball named Zoey.

My daughter went to visit her dad and his family yesterday...she'll only be gone a couple of days. You would not believe the separation anxiety going on between these two. The puppy has been beside herself searching through the house and laying outside of my daughter's closed bedroom door looking and waiting for her. This morning for the first time ever she refused to eat breakfast...thankfully her hunger strike ended after about four hours. But since she hadn't eaten since the night before, 16 hours is a long time for such a little pup to go without eating.

Right after Zoey finally ate something, I get a call from my daughter wanting me to get on Skype so she could see and talk to the dog. Her dad said she had been very worried about the puppy. My daughter didn't really miss me or want to talk to me, she just needed me to hold the dog up to the computer so they could see each other and she could talk to Zoey. I think it confused the puppy that she could see and hear my daughter because as soon as we ended our call she went through the house searching again for my daughter.

Quick update. Max is in doggy hospital and will be overnight.

He has had one operation and H and I then transferred him to our vets larger practice, nice 30 mile round trip. It was a horrid journey as Max was still sedated when the nurses carried him to the car. He then started to come round, whining and crying, he was stumbling around trying to stand, very distressing to listen too.

Tomorrow the vet will take a closer look at the knee joint as they are worried about infection. I'll know more tomorrow.

Oh KP, my heart goes out to you. How did Max get hurt? Poor guy. I'll continue to keep my fingers crossed. How's the other puppy handling Max not being there? You do have another don't you? I know my pups don't like to be separated.
