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...:)

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'm so glad Merlin will be ok. I am sorry though that he had to go through the humilitaion of a thorough exam. :eek: :D

Whew!!!Thank goodness it wasn't worse news! Now you be a good boy Merlin and take it easy so you can be all better! :)

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;)

Hope Merlin gets better real soon. Give him some hugs. :)

Merlin says yawnn,, thanks for the well wishes, but he is kinda sleepy now....... says he likes drugs but wants to know why he feels like a thousand pounds now???:D :D :D :D
