Trying to take my mind off what may be ahead

So glad this has a happy ending, have you finished the bottle of red yet, you will have needed it!

We had a cat who lost the use of one leg, couldn't walk, we were desperately worried about her and loaded her into the car (no cat carriers then) to take her to the vet. Two miles down the road she panicked and started jumping around from the back to the front with no problem at all. Get her to the vets, nothing wrong, back home and into the house and all of a sudden she has this massive limp, obviously decided she liked all the fuss and attention it got her!

Just seen this thread - I’m so glad Duncan has made a miraculous recovery! What a rascal. We had a dog who used to limp when she thought she was in trouble. They’re class actors.

What type of terrier is he? I like his dark colouring.

Poor doggie, poor you. Some posts seem to be missing about the great news- not sure where they are- but I guess he must be OK, pheew.

Whitewave, what a good looking dog he is, you can see he is full of terrier personality.
I do hope he stays rallied - old dogs have shared so much of our lives and given us so much fun, laughter, joy, love and yes, stress.

Oh this is hilarious WWM2. Everyone concerned this poor boy is now unable to walk and at the 11th hour, the bold Duncan starts toddling across the floor. Priceless and thank you for the giggle Duncan. ?. What a wonderful outcome for you both?

Another vote for no apology needed. Just happy that your day is ending on a happier note.

Bless him

So glad he is ok WWM2 looks like enjoyed the trifle

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

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.

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

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

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

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

By the way, he is gorgeous!

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Comfort/celebration food.
