Thanks, everyone! All great advice, and some of your stories make me feel a little better about it. I just naturally thought the worst.

Jaxon's mom · 10-24-2006, 03:43 PM

Jaxon and I hope Eddie's leg is ok and it's nothing more than a minor sprain. Keep us posted!

Little Eddie we hope you are feeling better soon,

from all of us.

Sending HOT Texas kisses to Eddie from the girls to COLD alaska

hahaha and you thought that was real love talk didnt' ya ?

Gingergirlsmom · 10-24-2006, 03:53 PM

Awww, I hope Eddie's feeling better soon! Hopefully it's just a minor sprain and he'll be back on all four feet in no time. I'll keep an eye out for updates!

Poor little Eddie. Is he putting weight on it, or just holding it up? Maddie had something happen a few weeks ago, but, unlike other digs that hide their pain, she screamed bloody murder! I took her to the vet and by the time he saw us, she could put weight on her leg again. He thought maybe her kneecap had moved just a bit and she seemed to be okay, though she showed some distress when he messed with her knee and paw. I hope the same happens for darling little Eddie! I don't want him to be hurting!!! I love that little guy!

I have had several occassions whne one of my dogs has hurt/favored a leg only to run them to the vet and getthere and they are running around just fine. I try and wait a day to make sure as long as they are not in any apparent distress. I hope he's fine by tomorrow.

Mueyinter · 10-24-2006, 05:02 PM

Sending warm wishes to both you & Eddie. I hope he feels better soon.

Thanks again, everyone! Unfortunately, I had to leave Eddie home alone while working today. My wife wen't home after 3 hours and I went home after 5 hours, and he was still in the same condition.

Connie, he's not putting any weight on it. Fortunately, I think he's behaving himself and not running around too much. I'm going to drop him off at the vet's at 8 in the morning.

I don't know how some of you guys have dealt with serious health issues. He's all I'm thinking about. I don't care about agility, I don't care about runs, I just want him to feel better.

Miss_Sara · 10-25-2006, 12:08 AM

aww I'm sooo sorry!

I hope everything is ok

we had some neighbhoors let their dog loose, it was a rottweiler
and I was soo upset about htis in general
it would growl at my very young cousins
and I just called the animal services and said that it was ridiculous
and that the dogs (there were 2) were left outside no leash no collar nothing. Just in the front yard.
(they gave them a ticket, because they caught them red handed, but they are continually doing this, they need to train their dogs! I don't want to ask them to be taken away

)

Some people need to learn to handle their animals!

Bruce's_Mom · 10-25-2006, 12:40 AM

Ahhh I cannot believe I missed this thread at first. Bruce and I are praying for Eddie! We know first hand what it is like to have leg issues.

On a brighter note I would not think LP so quickly if he has never shown the tell tale signs before like skipping, suddenly picking the leg up, etc it would most likely have showed itself before it caused lameness...

If Eddie is having a problem that requires casting Pet Food Warehouse on Frontage TD (you know towards Diamond a little up and off New Seward), has really great more comfortable e-collars, and well I know you have a great vet look at the miracles they did for Jack!

Again we are sending Eddie lots of love and prayers from Seattle!!!

Poor Eddie! Zena and I are sending "get well soon"-wishes

magnolia · 10-25-2006, 06:04 AM

Oh Mike, I'm so sorry to read about Eddie's injury! Sending lots of prayers that it's nothing more than a pulled/strained muscle. Only problem I've had with mine is Gabby injured her back jumping off the bed and would wimper and whine each time she jumped. We took her to the vet where he diagnosed a slipped disc - she had to stay at the vets on steroids for a couple days and then was allowed to come home. That's been a few years back and she's made a full recovery

I know the same will be true with Eddie. Gabby and Gage send lots of puppy hugs that he's feeling better soon!

DENISE517 · 10-25-2006, 06:10 AM

Just Sending warm wishes to little Eddie. Hope he is ok. I hate to see any baby in hurt. Keep us informed when you hear from the vet. I know how freaky it can be when you think something is wrong. Maddie was at my work and likes to sleep on my desk. Well she decided she would hop up on the ledge where my desk was (never dreamed she would do it). And as I went to get her she fell and went down about 5 feet and fell on her side. She yelped and screamed... I was freaking out and when I picked her up her eyes closed. I just knew she was dead... but within a few minutes and a vet call, she was just fine. These little guys are just the best. Prayers for Eddie coming your way!!!
