Trying to take my mind off what may be ahead

Aw WWM2 he looks adorable. Difficult time for you and for himm. Bon chance et bon courage.

Having lost two dogs due to hip dysplasia, common in large dogs, we reached the heartbreaking stage where nothing further could be done. I know only too well how you must be feeling.

I sincerely hope this afternoon has a positive outcome for you and your adorable boy. ??

Keeping my fingers crossed for this afternoon.

WhitewaveMark2 I sincerely hope all will be well with your lovely boy. ?

How worrying for your WWM2 keeping fingers crossed that he'll be OK.

WWM2 Hope all goes well and your gorgeous dog will be better soon.

You are right. He does deserve a chance to find out if it’s fixable. Hope it is ??xx

Just back from the hospital. Vet met us at the door as Duncan had not been able to walk all day, he had even tried to go to the door when thepostman came and collapsed.

Stephen -vet- carried him in and said he would put him on the floor to see what if any movement he had. Duncan was gently laid onto the floor, got up and walked off!! I nearly died of embarrassment.

Rest assured I shall never start another thread like this it is toe curling ly embarrassing.

Vet reckons he has a sort joint and. it wasn’t a question that he couldn’t rather than he wouldn’t.
He even fooled this mornings vet. Dear oh dear.

So I can only apologise and thank you all for your best wishes and sympathy. You were all lovely as apposed to Duncan who is a little ass.

He is now on more painkillers and observation.!! Actually out with DH in the pouring rain for a poo, and gently exercise. I’ll give him gently exercise!!

PS I went into M&S on the way home and bought a bottle of red and a huge raspberry trifle.

Comfort/celebration food.

That is brilliant news, WWM2, so pleased for you and Duncan (the ass) . No need for apologies or embarrassment as I'm sure everyone is delighted with the result. Enjoy your wine and trifle.

WW2 Your dog is a comedian. What a little character! Duncan has given me a good laugh. I am so glad he is well.

They put us through the wringer these pets of ours! Obviously he rose to the occasion at the vets. Hope he continues to improve.

No need to apologise WWM2 it's fantastic news that the little monkey is OK.

Toe-curlingly embarrassing? Nooooo. WWM2 I was so relieved for you and had a really good laugh. Little perisher, he's scammed us all. Now that he's seen us all fall for his acting skills, he'll doubtless be off on some other nonsense to test our nerves and play on our heart strings. Maybe some front wheel problem in the morning as a change from the rear ?!!

But you must be his most favourite pal - he couldn't have got more concern and better treatment. So now, you can sit down with the wine and trifle and totally ignore him for the rest of the evening.

Oh Whitewavemark2 what a cheeky boy and he looks so cute too! I'm pleased he is ok. Enjoy your bottle of wine and trifle!

Whitewavemark2 Having just read through your posts today, I'm so glad your boy is alright. They cause us to worry at times, as they're part of the family.

Good news, WWM2. Even though he embarrassed you at the vets this afternoon, the fact he is ok is all that matters. ?

So glad that he is ok. I had similar with my much-loved cat last year. Enjoy that trifle and wine, you've earned it.

By the way, he is gorgeous!

HURRAY for you and for that naughty joker, Duncan. I'm so pleased for you both.

Good for Duncan. He's probably wondering what all the fuss was about! I'm glad its all worked out well

Such good news, give him a treat from us and a hug.

Oopsadaisy4

Such good news, give him a treat from us and a hug.

He’s licked out the empty trifle dish. You can tell by his rotund tummy

I'm late to this thread, read through it all and lived through today's ups and downs with Duncan - I was therefore so pleased to read your post to say all was well! Not toe curlingly embarrassing at all WWM2, just such a relief and lovely end to a worrying day for you.

We had a dog whose back legs would randomly collapse under her. We found that if we lifted her up, under her armpits so to speak, and held her up for a while with her back legs dangling, she would recover. The vet at the time said something about trapped nerves, drew diagrams for us to explain it all, but it was a long time ago, and I don't recall exactly the issue. He did tell us that what we were doing was exactly right and explained why holding her up for a minute or two worked.

Don’t apologise. I think we are all glad he’s ok. He’s a very handsome chap for sure.
