Bricky's hobbling on his right front
Don't know what happened. He was fine when I left for work. I gave him half a Rimadyl and called the vet. They told me to monitor it thru the rest of the day and night. If I'm still concerned tomorrow morning, I can bring him in in the morning. He's been looking for a lot of attention from me since I got home. Licking my face, sitting in my lap, and he's now lying across my lap now that I'm sitting on the couch. He was panting a bit earlier, but it's a little warm in the house and he's probably in a bit of pain. He's not really panting now. I gave him the Rimadyl just after 4 and it's now just after 5. Maybe the drug is kicking in. My poor boy. I worry about him more than ever now that he's crossed the 10 year mark.  |

| Poor Bricky! Hopefully Rimadyl and a good night's rest will fix him up. |
 Get better quick, little Brick....we all are worried about you!!! *Mark, please keep us posted...  |
| He ate well tonight. Gobbled his food right up. Drinking fine, too. I went downstairs to work on my computer and he wanted to come down. He went down 2 stairs and stopped. I had to turn him around and lead him back upstairs. But then when I went outside to clean up the yard, he went right down the 4 outside stairs without much trouble. He took 2 big poops and was meandering around the yard. He must've seen a dog walking up the street because he took off at full sprint to the other side of the house to bark at the other dog. I yelled at him to slow down so that he wouldn't hurt himself. Hard headed terrier. |
Poor Brick. Hope he feels better soon  |
| Did you check his toenails? A while back 2 members sheepies in the same week had torn a nail and that's what was wrong with them. What ever it turns out to be, hope he feels better soon. |
Hope Brick feels better soon!  |
| I did check his pads/nails/paw and didn't see anything. I massaged him around the shoulder area and that's when he whimpered a little bit. But that was all yesterday. He seems to be doing better today. I still gave 1/2 a Rimadyl to him with his breakfast. |
| I hope Brick feels better soon. It's tuff getting old. |
| Yes it is tough getting old and it is even harder to watch someone you love getting old. Get better soon Brick. |
I hope he just over did it a bit. Thankfully most of the time some pain meds and time to rest and heal up do the trick. The joys of hitting older age - none of us bounce back quite as well as we used to.  |
| He seems much better tonight. Jumping on & off the couch and running up & down the stairs. He and Zeke are harrassing each other. Nice to see that he bounced back quickly. |
 Good boy, Bricky.....no more scaring daddy!!!!!!! (We will miss all of you so much at Sheepiepalooza!!!!) |
| Even though he was hurting yesterday, it was kinda nice because he was so sweet. He was very cuddly and just wanted to lie against or on me. Today, I don't really exist.  (And Val, I'll miss all of you guys, too. Things are just so unsettled, I feel like I can't make any kind of move on anything until I sort out my house situation.) |
