| This is why I worry so much. I need help. Tobie hasn't been acting like himself so much today. He's been eating - but not as much... he's been playing but no nearly as much as usual and he's been sleeping a lot. Well, I just noticed that he is walking funny so I took a closer look and it looks like he's limping on one of his front legs. It seems like his shoulder is hurting him. We have a vet appointment tomorrow for shots but do you think this is serious enough for us to take him to a 24 hour place tonight? I'm stressing out

| I would also be worried. I am hoping some others will have some suggestions for you but with any little thing I will be at the vet in no time! Maybe call the vet and see what he/she thinks you should do. Hope all is well with little Tobie! |

Not sure if that helped, but I would say if he doesn't seem sooooo bad, that you can wait | |

| Thanks guys, right now he seems uncomfortable but not too bad. The appt isn't until 2:30 pm but I think I'll keep my eye on him and just call the vet first thing in the morning and see if they can get me in asap.

| I'd keep him confined and warm. Don't let him jump on or off of anything. But I think you can wait until tomorrow for the vet.

YT 1000 Club Member | if anything is wrong and he's not feeling well I would still go to the vet but put off the shots. it's better to do shots when they're in the best of health IMO. hope all is ok. keep us posted! |

| He's walking on it now but I can't tell if he's putting all of his weight on it. I will definitely let everyone know what we find out tomorrow.

| I just wanted to update. Tobie is doing great - it looks like he just pulled a muscle or something. I went and bought some doggie stairs for him and he's actually using them! I knew he would use them to go up but thought there was no way he would go down them since he seems to enjoy jumping so much but he surprised me. I'm so glad because he was stressing me out with all of his jumping.

BANNED FOR NOT SENDING A GE GIFT! | Steps This is just an FYI...I had to buy 2 sets of steps and put them next to each other to keep Trevor from jumping down.....he used them to get up but always jumped down until I got another set and put them together, then he started using them to get down too |

| Glad to hear he is doing ok! I always worry about my 2 jumping, even with the steps my Harley always jumps the last 2 instead of going all the way down! Sometimes my Hubby will say he is part Gazelle!!!LOL

YT 1000 Club Member | I'm glad he's ok! Roxie does this jumping thing and it drives me crazy. She gets all freaked out about what the cat is doing or a sound and she just flies off the arm of the couch onto the hard floor. I'm so scared she's going to mess herself up. |
