In Emerg with Coop

[serenpugity]

Hope the great Pug Dad and Mr. Cooper had a sound and lengthy sleep last night. And good wishes to the great Pug Mom who sounds like she's recuperating too. Good thing that Mr. Bugsey is able to hold down the fort!

Coop is getting better every day, but it seems that it's my turn now, I'm getting sick (and Carolyn is getting better).  I think Coop did something to his leg last night ... he often sleeps on it funny and it goes to sleep and he won't walk on it for a few minutes (probably all pins and needles), but he's been hopping and not walking on it since yesterday evening.  It's not broken or anything ... he'll let me do whatever to it, squeeze it, bend it, move it, he just won't walk on it.  Poor little hop along, but he's doing better, he actually ran full tilt out of the bedroom this morning and down the stairs (on 3 legs) for breakfast!

Well dang.  Hoping the Gimpy Dog heals up.  Just a random thought--is he limping on the leg where the catheter was for his IV antibiotics?

Nope that was the first thing I checked, it's his other front leg.  He's limped on this one before .. sometimes after laying on it for a while but it usually comes back to normal pretty quickly.  He's had this happen before for a few days as well and have had him checked out for it but nothing was amiss ... it's possible that he just pulled something or twisted it is what the vet supposed the last time.  If it's not better within another day or two we'll get it checked out.

I'm just started into what feels like it's going to be a doozy of a cold, so Carolyn will be on vet duty this week!!

Poor Cooper!  Get better soon!
