Unknown Illness , Little Moe..any ideas? Saturday night hubby and I went away for the night, it wasn't planned a friend of his was in desperate need so we had to go. I put Moe and pippy in a blocked of area of the house that was fully doggy proof, and left it at that.Sunday we returned home, to find they had broken out somehow and had full run of the house! I looked around and nothing to my knowledge had been gotten into, except a sponge, a paper towel, and a plastic hinge off thier crate. By Sunday night I noticed Moe wasn't himself, his tail was dragging the floor, and he just seemed "different".Monday I took them with us thinking he was off due to being left, but still even after a full day of doggy pampering and full attention, he was dragging his tail, and by Monday night walking a bit stiff.Tuesday I worked all day, but fortunately hubby was off, so I had him take Moe in. Up to this point he had passed no stool either.Tuesday morning he was not only walking stiff but arched as well, he wouldnt jump on the bed as ussual or take the stairs....so hubby took him in.The vets gave him 2 shots one to relax his muscles and to tell you the truth I couldnt tell you what the other was meant to do.They sent us home with some paste stuff to give him to help his bowel movements soften up and start again.The vet said to watch him, and check any stool for objects or bits of objects.Wednesday Moe was much worse, too stiff to move, arched like a halloween cat, and so tired you'd think he was an old dog, when actually he turns 3 on Saturday.Wednesday at 5 we took him to the vets they did exactly the same as the day before and sent us home saying he could eat if he wanted it.Wednesday night he finally had a full bowel movement half dark and hard the rest normal and soft.Today we took him to the vets at 10am, he was still arched still stiff legged and still they did nothing more than to give him the shot and send us home, no bloods no x rays, nothing more to try to explore what this could be.Tonight he is vomiting, very very lethargic, not been awake much if any today, and still very arched and stiff, not walking as when he does his back end gives out.The vet wants him back again tomorrow, I am telling you I can scarcely afford another visit thats going to be the same as the others, it would be worth it if they would do other things, as in bloods or xrays..to try to pin point the problem..but they wont....oh yeah and all this time he has had a temp.I am fearful for my little guys life and his well being, he is suffering this I am sure of, Moe is by no means a calm dog, he is over the top active and full of life..these past few days he is just not the dog I know and Love......has anyone got ANY ideas of what his ailment sounds like?......oh yeah...he is constantly putting his head on me as a rest for it..this is not something he ever has done before....Any ideas would be great cause when i go to the vet tomorrow im going to throw out possibilities of what to look for...its a foriegn vet who I just dont think knows much...and in my town I am unfortunatley limited to vets.
