Reece might be hurt

[aly]

I'm debating on if we should go to the emergency room or not. I had a late day at work today and didn't get home until 10pm. Reece greeted me and was jumping around like normal. We went on a short jog outside and ran around playing and he was fine. Then after we were inside for awhile, he tried to jump on my lap and yelped really loud and stopped himself after he had lifted his front legs a little in the air. I checked him out and he seemed fine. He walked away perfectly normal. Then he came back and layed at my feet. I got worried about him and called him up to the couch. He again tried to jump up but had to stop himself. I was looking at his front legs wondering if he dislocated something. His left elbow was looking weird at first but now I think its my imagination. He's walking around like normal still and doesn't seem to be in pain. I called the emergency vet and they said to wait until morning and take him to my regular vet, but I'm really worried. I have no clue what's wrong

I hope all is well, although it does sound strange that he'd yelp only when he stretches up his front legs. I don't know what to tell you, except that I know you'll figure out what's best. If in doubt, a trip to the e.r. might be the answer.

I'll send the cutie pie good vibes tonight!

Poor Reece,,,
We will be prayin for the sweet little pup that everything is o.k. keep us posted!!!! (maybe he pulled a muscle or something while yall were out playin and now he is sore) **if dogs can even pull a muscle i really dont know** {{hugs to you sweet Reece}}

[zippy-kat]

Oh dear Reece man! what have you done?

Aly, I know how hard it is to wait, but if it seems that he only pulled/sprained something--maybe it could wait till morning. But I know how terribly upset/worried you get over your furkids--if you are TREMENDOUSLY worried, maybe you should go to the Er...it would give you peace of mind.

I guess count the pros and cons of the situation...

Whatever you decide--keep us updated!!
{{hugs and prayers}}

Oh poor Reece. Aly, I sure do hope it's nothing serious and Reece will be back to normal soon! Fingers and paws crossed here for Reece-boy.

Poor little Reece! I hope it's nothing serious and that it'll be gone by tomorrow!

[Pam]

Oh poor little Reece man. We too are hoping it is just a pulled muscle. Please keep us up to date and tell him Bella and I are wishing him a speedy recovery!

Aly Aly tell us what's doing with our Reece-man Did he sleep well Did he do his walkies this morning?? Should I come down and hide a liver snack in my pocket for him? Please check in if only for a sentence or two. Auntie Laurie

How is Reece doing today?

[Logan]

I do hope the little fellow will be ok, Aly. If Aly and Reece aren't happy and feeling good, it makes the rest of us very sad.

Check in when you can. Hope Reece is feeling better today!!

[Dixieland Dancer]

I really hope Reece is feeling better soon. Let us know if you take him to the vet and what they say.

Give him a hug from me! I will say a prayer that it is just a passing thing and it is gone already! Try not to worry yourself to much.

Yes, dogs can pull a muscle. Carina did, in her shoulder, as a result of playing tug-of-war with too much energy. She was limping, but the X-rays didn't show anything wrong. The vet said it was a pulled muscle and gave me some pain medication.
Aly: I hope poor baby Reece is better this morning and don't be too worried until you know exactly what's wrong. Give him a big hug from us.
