 Ivan needs prayers
Ivan, our big ol gsd is going though something that is causing him a lot of pain.
He came in from outside last night and whimpered a little when he had to step up in to the house. A few minutes later I reached down to pat him on his butt and he yelped so loud everyone in the house came running. He would cry in pain every time I even touched his left flank. While laying down I manipulate his spine and pushed and pulled on both hind legs, and moved his legs and feet in all kinds of directions with no response but the lightest of touch sent him off when I touched his left flank. Later on in the night he became tender on the other side as well but not to the same extent. I gave him aspirin and my husband said he would get him in to our vet this morning. Well the vet is stacked up to the max but since she really loves Ivan she told DH to bring him in and let him spend the day with her. She would check him out, do X-rays and maybe bloodwork between appointments. Now I am waiting to hear from DH and may have to wait all day. Whatever it is Ivan is in a lot of pain and needs your prayers to see him through this. He is only 7 yrs old and has been as healthy as a horse all of his life with the exception of having seborrhea.
Thanks for reading this and thanks in advance for your prayers and good thoughts. |
