 Good Timing for you & Enzo!
I know it is disappointing to drop the plans for the agility training, but I'm glad you found out about his leg problem Before the training began, otherwise you may have thought the course work over-did his leg and made it all worse. Do keep an eye on Enzo's poops for any signs of 'tiny red flecks' if he ends up having any surgery. Taffy's surgeon warned me of this symptom after his broken leg surgery; it means the anti-inflammatory med has irritated his digestive tract and has started to cause bleeding...just like the t.v. advertisements warn humans about if they take anti-inflammatory meds.! Sure enough, after 4 days, I spotted tiny red flecks and called the surgeon. I had to stop Taff's anti-inflammatory med, and continued with his pain med. I hope Enzo responds well to his anti-inflammatory med, but do ask if it has any secondary additives that could cause bleeding, hopefully not. (I can take plain glucosamine, but not the brands that contain 'sulfate additives' which most contain. It makes my stomach lining sore!)
I know it is hard to keep Enzo quiet. We had to put Taffy in a small crate in our den for a couple 'enforced rest periods' after his surgery. The vet told us what he was allowed to do as he returned for his check-ups every 4-6 weeks.
Best wishes, Sue & Taffy |
