Simon took Pepsi to see his friends at Palmer and Duncan this morning at 8:20am and needed Uncle Tim to help move him onto the back of the car 🙁 He was still not up for eating (less good news) and did not want to move at all.

Once we got him into the vets he seemed to perk up a bit 🙂 After a full examination the vet suggested that he was not in any worse state that he has been previously and that he must have just twisted awkwardly (or similar) and that he was probably in ‘lock down mode’ where he was not allowing himself to move such that he could repair quicker.

Anyway, she gave him a shot to help with the pain and Simon brought him home.  He almost immediately ate his breakfast 🙂 and then took himself slowly outside to do his business.

He has stayed pretty motionless for the rest of the time today and has whimpered out on a couple of occasions so hopefully he is on the right recovery road.

If pain is clearly persisting, then he can go back for one more injection tomorrow, although the fact that he is more alert again and eating is all nicely positive signs 🙂

He has thrown a joint / disc / something again today while we were out. Sadly he has ha zero desire to move since we got in at 16:30 including having no desire to eat 🙁

Daddy took him outside to wee etc but he would not get off his bed. His cries out are whenever he tries to move and we are still unsure whether it front legs or back – suspect it is same place in his back he did the first time – ie just behind his shoulders and hence not front or back per se.

So, a trip to the vet is looking highly likely in the morning 🙁

Mummy nipped into the Wakefield drop in centre today to have her throat diagnosed – she has a bacterial tonsillitis that has infected the right side rather badly 🙁

So, she now has 80 tablets to take over the next 10 days 🙁 Interesting that they give tablets for somebody who is struggling to swallow 🙁

Hopefully she will feel better in a few more days…
