We have a 2:30 appointment at the vet.  He woke up this morning and he is trying to limp.  His back right leg seems to have something wrong with it.  I can't find anything, he doesn't yelp; but he also is trying his hardest to not use that leg.  Him not yelping though doesn't comfort me much… through all of this he has only shown that he was in pain one time and that was the day after his amputation when he tried to stand up and then fell forward on his incision.

We are up at the cabin, so 2 hours from our vet, hence the few hours until we will get in to see them.  Any good thoughts you can send him would be much appreciated.  Ugh.  We fly out tomorrow for a 10 day trip with him having a dog sitter at the house.  this is such a bad time, now I don't want to go!

Keeping Spencer in my thoughts today, and sending positive thoughts his way.  Hoping this is nothing more than a little "bump in the road," and that whatever it is will be a quick fix and recovery.

Our thoughts are with you!  Zeus is one month out from his amp (right front) and for the last couple of days he has had a bit of a "hitch" in his hind leg, so I know how concerning it is for you.  Good luck at the vet and please let us know the diagnosis!

Lisa and Zeus

thanks for that idea Levi's mom.  We will definitely look into that if he doesn't get better ASAP!  Here is my facebook update:

update on Spencer… doesn't seem to be a break. They are thinking some sort of soft tissue injury. He'll be getting x-rays in the morning (their other office has digital x-rays, so they are taking him over for that). The vet thinks it is unlikely that this is a new tumor. Most likely he will have a week of mostly staying in his kennel, and then he'll be fine.

I'm going update more in my blog.  

Thanks for all of the good thoughts.

Hope the x-ray confirms that it is an injury & not something else! Please keep us posted.

Sending you many pawsitive thoughts & golden hugs,

Cathy
