Well, if it's not one thing, it's 20 others...I know i'm quoting an EBN member but I'm sorry that I can't remember who it was. After Finn woke up from his nap, I noticed he was limping. So, i thought maybe it's from the injection he got today. I called the vet and spoke to the vet tech who said more likely from the x-rays b/c they had to manipulate and stretch his limbs and maybe he's just stiff. Now, several hrs later, his limp looks worse! I soaked that paw in epsom salt and massaged him a little. I have no idea what happened...he was not limping til after he awoke from that nap. On the bright side, he ate very well and hasn't thrown up and went :poo: :)

Can i just say that it's been a very stressful day? I have to go back to work tomorrow and I hate leaving Finn when he's not feeling 100%. I was also going to take a mini vacation this coming weekend so had plans to board the two of them for one night at the vet's and now I'm debating whether or not to cancel my hotel reservation. I have by this Wed to make up my mind, otherwise I have to pay for the hotel. I don't think i want to leave Finn at the vet's if he's still limping. All this stuff is swirling in my head!!! thanks for listening.

:hug: to you missy, and one for Finn, one for Tate too... When it rains it pours...

Yes, they sure do! LOL! thanks Jenn...i'm leaning towards canceling since I'll likely be worrying about him all night anyways and probably won't enjoy myself. I'm going to take some time off again in Sept so I can always reschedule then. Hmmm...i think I just removed one stressor with that decision! :)

Ohhh Henny...the limp is probably temporary. It will be good for him to be quiet and crated tomorrow. I wish I was home..I would go check on him for you. :( if he doesn't throw up anymore tonight and eats and otherwise seems ok..even if a bit off..I bet he will sleep all day.

So relieved to hear that he ate and pooped! Sorry to hear about his leg. Maybe what you and the fur babies need is a quiet movie weekend on the couch with treats, popcorn and snuggles. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

Glad to hear about the pooping!!! My experience was the opposite to everybody else's. Linus x-ray showed a DEFINITE blockage according to the vet. His intestines and stomach were cut open only to find the rice he had eaten for breakfast!!

I realize I didn't give a final update on Finn and just wanted y'all to know that he's back to his "normal", naughty self! That limp...was very strange but reading the boards here I see that those inexplicable limps can and have happened to other bullies too; it pretty much resolved after a good 24hours. He's eating well...going poop well...no more vomiting...

I will definitely continue to look out for any foreign object he may pass in the future as well as any more sx's of GI distress. Hoping he didn't swallow something he wasn't supposed to but who knows. Right now, just happy he's feeling better and doing well. Thanks for all the positive thoughts!!
