 Isabel can't step up
Isabel is my 10 yr old female. She has always been an energetic, dominate, barking holy terrier. The last few weeks, we've noticed she kinda takes a couple false runs at the couch or chair before jumping up, but she always made it. Since Tuesday morning, she hesitates before going up a step. She will put her front foot on the step and then stop and it looks like she is trying to figure out how to get up, so of course, we pick her up. Yesterday, she was movng slower. She is peeing and I saw her poop yesterday morning, she ate Tues night. But, when we placed her on the couch last night, she never moved. She didn't even bark when someone came over. She did drink last night. This morning, I had to carry her outside, she peed and then stood and looked at me until I picked her up. She is moving very slowly. I have looked her over, I don't see anything, she doesn't flinch or pull away when you manipulate her legs or belly. This just breaks my heart, she is my baby. We have an appt this afternoon with the vet, but I wonder if anyone has any idea? |
