Hopefully we've caught it in time before any serious damage was done and it's just a sprain. Though I wish I could have one of the ortho vets down there look at her to be certain.
At two this morning she finally pooped and without too much difficulty. She's been eating and acting more her old self. Ten more days of metacam and two weeks no activity and then we'll reassess.
If there's anything else anyone can think of that I haven't mentioned that would aid Jenna's diagnosis/recovery I'd be grateful, thank you!
BTW Mike I know I don't get in here much but when did Lucy join the family? I'm glad to see you have three again, It must've been lonely since Rusty left for the Bridge. (((((((Hugs))))))))) |
Yay for poop!!!! What a relief
I'm glad to hear she's acting more like her old self. That's great!
The border collie in my picture was actually sold to us (back before I had any idea what CKC was versus AKC) as a CKC bi-black sheltie. I did see both of his parents and he looks just like his dad (coloring..not size). They were both taller, less hair than sheltie dogs but really did look like shelties other wise. Long story short - we have no idea what Shelby-Dale is...I just call him a sheltie mix because I really think he has that in him, but most believe he is mixed with border collie. After all, he's all muscle and every bit of 68 lbs. My high dollar mutt..I love him lol
