Hubby found an injured dog yesterday....

[carole]

Ok just got back from the vets, two vets checked him out, they are fantastic those girls there, so kind and caring and all done for free too, well Jed is about ten years old, they really are not 100 per cent sure what is wrong with him, one side is way more tender than the other, and his paws are pretty worn, so he has been walking quite a bit, they think he probably has arthritis and has walked for ages and that is why he has inflammation, do not seem to think he has been hit by a car, he was so good, although in obvious pain, he did however produce two lovely pees all over the floor, lol, i had not seen him go so was worried about that, well no longer everything functioning in that department, vet examined him internally, said a bit of inflammation but nothing to worry about.

So the plan is to have six days of Rimadyl and see how he goes and then take it from there, my girlfriend and i also went halfs in a bag of special food for mobility for him which the vet suggested would be excellent for him, he is pretty skinny only weighing 18kgs,he is now sleeping peacefully in the caravan, his executive kennel and without further adue here is Jed, isn't he sweet? any ideas what he is, vets were not sure on his breed., he should now be alot happier having some pain relief as well.

I have advertised in the paper and also left details at the SPCA, the cat shelter that helped me out last year with all the cat problems has a dog shelter too, rang her and she said if i have no luck finding his owners or rehoming him to give her a ring and she will see what she can do, so that is hopeful, he was not micro-chipped or had a collar, but we got him one and a lead, so when he is able i can give him a short walk, he is to be rested as much as possible for now.
