Well this morning a loud yelp of pain woke me up and I see him on the floor, struggling to get up with no success. He couldn't stand on his right front leg, it was just dangling. He literally tipped over. My first thought was that he had been stung by a scorpion. Checked his paw,no swelling, no pain when I handled it. So I gave him his anti inflamatory pill. Got the information for Mis Mascota clinic in Barra, and thankfully the vet was in today. My next concern was how to get him in the car, I am past the point of being able to lift a 70lb dog. Called Brian who came asap. The pill had kicked in enough by then that Kaiser was slowly limping to the car.
Got to the vet's, not a scorpion sting. Kaiser has an issue with his right shoulder. Could be arthirtis, going for Xray on Monday. For now, complete rest, no walks, no jumping on the bed, and no charging to the gate. This should be interesting.
He is taking a little bit stronger anti inflamatory pill now for pain, and a gluecosamin&Condroitin pill, and a pill for his stomach. Getting these pills down him will be even more interesting.
Right now he is comfortably sleeping in front of the floor fan. Will keep you updated.
Again, thank you all for your calls and concerns.
