 Thanks!
Hello everyone! I want to thank you for all your comments and concerns.
I am pleased to report that Benji is doing much better. I took him to the vet yesterday after work. Benji hurt his back somehow. My vet says it was a disk, but not to worry its nothing permanent. He says it did not come from the crate. He believes Benji just may have landed wrong (Benji does a lot of jumping on and off the bed all day long). He immediately knew what was wrong when he started examining him. He said Benji was hurting. He showed me exactly were his back was hurting at and how arched it was. Also Benji did not want his hind legs manipulated - indicating that he had a back ache.
Benji was given a Cortisone shot for inflammation and another shot for pain. It was also time for rabies so I got that too. I was given some pain pills to give him at home. He took his first pain pill this morning. I had to bribe him to take it. I wrapped it up in a little piece of ham and the first time Benji spit out the pill and ate the ham. LOL. I gave him a larger piece of ham with the pill wrapped inside and he took it fine.
thanks again everyone - you guys are awesome! |
