Well, I hate to throw another idea out there - but Marcel used to do this back when he used to have "ibs/ibd/colitis/unknown" -- when his tummy would bother him, or he was having digestive pain - he would get in this position to feel better or relieve something. I think it's a posturing that makes sense if there is pain in the torso (like a desire to stretch the area out). He would also lie flat if he was *really* feeling low/bad.
So, it could be related to the LP, but it could also be related to something else, possibly. She isn't having any poo problems, is she? Any tummy noises?
I hope she feels better, Brooke. HUGS to you and the babies.  |
Thank you so much Ann!
I gave little miss Tate one of the pain pills earlier and she seemed to have perked up quite a bit after it kicked in...so I think that MAY have been the issue (her knees). I don't know - my vet only gave me 4 pills - however they are each broken up into 1/4's which makes 16 pills so to speak (she only get's a 1/4 a pill once a day for a few days - then once every 2 or 3 days or so...just as little as needed if possible) - so I will keep her on these for a little while and see if they seem to be helping her and if she continues to do the laying down/leg thing - if not, then we just may have fixed the problem. Gosh I hope so
It breaks my heart to see her suffering in ANY way and yet it seems like every few months or so it's always something
It also breaks my heart thinking of poor little Marcel having such terrible tummy issues like that...my goodness, poor little angel!! Don't you just wish they could talk, and tell you EXACTLY what was bothering them? Sometimes I will talk to Tatum and geez I would give anything if she could just answer me back - lol
Big hugs to you girl and thank you so so much for your help
I will keep you updated and if anything changes and these pills stop helping her then I'm sure you will be getting a PM from me - LOL.
