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..

My vet just called me. He thinks its just a strain in his back, and will keep him for the day to observe but that is his thoughts on this.. whew!!!

Hugs to you all!
I hope Hottie's back to normal in no time!

I'm relieved that the Vet thinks this is a sprain instead of another OCD Episode!!!!

Hottie is back home. Still limping and favoring his front. He is going to be on this anti-inflamatory for a few days. Luckily I have a ramp out the front I can take him out on instead of the screen porch stairs.
None of us are totally sure what happened. The vet said that it appeared to him to be a strain, at least not enough to have cracked a bone in his back. The sore spot is at the withers he noticed as the day progressed. He probably landed wrong yesterday afternoon. Right now, the muscle relaxers has him pretty knocked out. I guess I will just give him hand fed dinner here in about an hour.
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. I do believe prayer makes a difference, especially where two or more are gathered.

No yelping last night in his sleep... I hope we are progressing here. Thank you all for your prayers!
