YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Magic is hurting Something happened this morning - while I was brushing my teeth. Hubby in the kitchen with the doggies - he was giving a morning feed. All of a sudden I heard the most unsual vocalization from Magic. I spit out my brush and ran upstairs. His right front leg is very sore. We had to go to health clinic this am - so I wrapped him in a cold pack and placed him in his crate. Hubby said he saw nothing happen at all - just the sound. He is slightly better - more icing since I'vebeen home some massaging. Can't tell which joint in the leg it might be at - I suspect ankle but... He is so sensitive to touch all along that leg. He is resting on the cool floor which he loves - he simply won't stay on a bed - he gets too hot. I am not sure what he wants he keeps placing his hurt paw on me. I massage him everywhere then finally he laid down to rest. I hope that it is just some sort of twist or sprain...... Tomorrow if not better time for a vet visit.

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Oh Judy I did not want to go for the health tests for Dara an hour drive away - but hubby said we need to do these very expensive tests. Magic will be okay for a few hours. I wanted to stay home with him - but hubby says you have to go you are the owner of record - plus you do all the paperwork. I think I might have narrowed it down to a metatarsal. Dave exercised his memory and said maybe just maybe Dara stepped on him when she was coming upstairs. Now that would usually not be a problem as she is much lighter than my big boy - but he is almost 10 yrs old now. Breed longevity is anywhere from 10 to 13 and he has ED 2 I will this evenng clip scissor his whole paw in case we need to take him in and so I can see if I can see anything. My mind always go to cancer as I lost two in the past few years to this................. Can't think about this now. Need to do what I can do until tomorrow.

| Gemy I'm very Sorry Magic has had something happened and and is in pain. Not knowing exactly what has happened is terrible for you. I hope you soon find the answers and Magic will feel relieved of the pain and discomfort. My heart hurts for you too Gemy so sooner the better for both of you. When my babies get hurt I feel so bad about thier pain.They depend on us so much to make everything better.

| I'm broken hearted hearing how much you and Magic are hurting. I know there is nothing in the world you wouldn't do for him, and I pray he wakes tomorrow free of the pain he is feeling. Many years ago my littlest angel hurt her toe running and playing outside on the stone surrounding our pool. It was midnight, and I knew I should just wait to see what the new day brought, but the sound of her cries and her holding her paw up made it impossible for me to wait. When the emergency vet moved her paw, I heard a tiny growl, the only growl I ever heard from Gracie her entire life. He had to sedate her with Valium to get an X-ray, and she had a shot of an anti-inflammatory, but her toe was just bruised. The next morning Gracie was tearing around my house like nothing happened. I hope tomorrow is much brighter for both of you and that Magic is feeling much better.

| Poor Magic! I know how worried you must be. Praying that it is just a bruise or minor sprain and that he will be back to himself quickly. Max pulled a muscle in his neck/shoulder area and scared me (although he enjoyed the emergency family trip to the vet). Seeing our doggies in discomfort is so hard.

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Thank you everyone. Magic was much much better this morning! 24hrs of strict crate rest = massage and hydrotherapy seem to do the trick. Hubby has strict orders not to allow Magic and Dara out in backyard together and absolutely no rough housing in the house. I was able to examine his whole leg last night including his nails and there was no torn nail or pawpad and his joints seem to move normally, One more epsom salt soak tonight and hopefully he is back to normal. I can only get the water up to a mid leg but that is okay. Although I still wish I had seen what had happened!
