    Merlins diagnosis...

    Well my lil guy has a sore leg/bottom... the vet did a pretty throughal exam much to Merlins displeasure,,, (but he was cooperative and was a good boy!!) and figures he has strained his muscles.... so far,,, the ligiments seem safe... so we got some anti inflammatiry meds and pain killers combined ,, its called METACAM. We have to enforce quiet time for a full month,,, yikes!!!! this should be interesting to say the least...

    Here he is,, drugs are kicking in...


    Here he is chillaxing!

    Well, guess it could have been a lot worse, though I'm sure poor Merlin's so uncomfortable What a good patient you were, Merlin! Hopefully the Metacam will give you some relief, sweetheart! Chill out, soak up all that Mommy love and feel better soon dear Merlin! {{{HUGS}}}

    I hope Merlin is feeling better real soon. Sorry to hear about this. I know how hard it can be to keep a doggie calm and quiet. Best of Luck!

    I'm so glad it's not serious! Hug Merlin for me and give him lots of treats. Tell him not to play so hard.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Glad to hear he got some meds and is feeling better. Glad it was nothing really serious and all he needs now is some "quiet time". Have fun with that one
