Hottie is lame

**borzoimom** · 10-30-2006, 05:29 PM

I took him out twice. He stayed right with me. Usually he tries to cruise the yard. I am hoping he just pulled his back. The vet said to put him on asprin again and let him relax. He is being quiet without yelping when asleep but I am worried.. He cant get up without help. A 100 pound dog is hard to lift but I am trying.
I just hope he does okay. I almost lost him last month. He fractured his back barking at a bear ( borzois do like a polar bear bounce..)
I just pray he is okay. .. My husband is going to take him in tomorrow when I am at the hospital. I wish I could be there, but I cant. I just feel awful..

I'm so sorry to hear this, and especially right now before your surgery!

I hope and pray everything will be ok with Hottie, and it is just a sprain!

Hugs,
Kim

I told him basically the exact same thing.. lol. jeez..
Its early morning but he is stiff. I heard him yelp twice last night in his sleep, so he is going in this morning. My husband seems to think its his left shoulder. I have to be at the hospital at 10, but when I spoke to my vet he said that Darrell could drop him off this morning. He is going to take a good look at him, and observe him for a few hours. My husband told my vet that he didnt want me home alone with him because he knows I would try to help him, and I really shouldnt physically..
