What is Cookie doing in a crate?
Last week, when he tried to jump on a couch, he yelped and started shaking. Such an incident happened twice in the last week, and the symptom at the second time was worse than the first time. When he became like that the second time on Saturday, his shivering continued nearly half an hour. At that time I thought "A slipped disk? Not again!!" But, unlike the time he had a slipped disk in the neck and had an operation, his condition didn't deteriorate.
This week I took Cookie to the vet for an annual checkup, and then I told the vet about Cookie's condition. To my relief, the vet's diagnosis was a simple back pain that has nothing to do with spinal injuries.
Just in case, I will keep him in his crate most of the day and take him out only for shot walks on the lead until Monday. But, it seems Cookie doesn't mind it, because he spends most of his day having a nap anyway.
Glad it's nothing serious. I'm sure he'll be back on his feet soon!

Poor Cookie. It's no fun getting older.
ReplyDeleteOuch! Hope it is nothing too bad. Those little doggies are always flinging themselves about so. No wonder they get boo boo's.

hopes you feeling better Cookie, trouble with age is it doesnt come on its own.
ReplyDeleteIt's true, they're not young forever. But it would be wonderful if they were.
ReplyDeleteRest a little and you'll feel better.

Oh, poor Cookie!! I know how you feel - I will be 6yrs old soon and that is well into middle-age for us Danes...and my humans say that I am really slowing down this year! Of course, I always like to sleep but now I need even MORE sleep to recover from things and I just don't have the energy to run or play for so long as before...
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear that it is nothing serious and hope that with a bit of rest, you will be feeling like your old self soon!
