I can't imagine that it would be lp as you would have notice more symptons before this.
I bet all the running and playing in the snow has done something but I think that it might just be something that is a one time type of occurrence. Let us know what is up. We'll be sending Jackson some good thoughts and keep him in our prayers it's not anything too serious. 
Maggie May is sending Jackson a great big Get Well hug and kisses. |
Thank you!
I was thinking the same thing. I feel like more symptoms would have occurred if it was a grade 3 or 4 LP problem not just suddenly when he's never had issues in his life.
He was also rough housing on Christmas Eve & Christmas with my dad's dogs, as I said, so I'm wondering if it's just now starting to bother him or something.
No idea, but thanks for the well wishes!

Try to get him into the vet as soon as possible. Your vet will probably prescribe a steroid to bring the inflammation down and have you restrict his activity for a few weeks. |
Yep, thanks for the link, I was reading and researching and I'm definitely going to be asking the vet lots of questions. I just don't see how it could be a grade 3 or 4 and happen so suddenly but I guess it's possible?
I'm calling the vet first thing in the AM. I tried to get him in today at a local vet open on Sunday's but unfortunately, the ONE vet available has a high fever and will not be in today. So I'll just take him to his regular vet tomorrow morning.
