We got her outside this afternoon for a potty break and it was literally like carrying a 70lb sack of potatoes. She doesn't seem to want to use her legs at all. Front leg I can understand b/c of the swelling but what's up with the rear??? There were a couple of "actual" hops she took but that was it. Is this the sea-leg scenario everyone mentions? Also, once we got outside she just laid there didn't pee. Almost dinner/pill time so maybe we'll have better luck with an evening potty break.

We just tried another potty break and she just laid there again, she hasn't peed since 7-7:30am. Luckily with SouthPaws they are 24hrs so I just spoke to the ER Dept. They said it seems like it's pretty par for the course and especially with her being a grandma it may take her a little longer then younger pups. They said as long as she isn't straining to urinate/deficate and that its not discolored we shouldn't be too worried. If things change they said to definitely give them a call. They said when she's ready she'll go again so in the meantime I'll be headed to Walmart to pick up some puppy pads just in case she ends up peeing in her sleep and so we can protect the carpet.

Her Rx regime is:

200mg of Cefpodoxime (1.5 caplets) every 24hrs

75mg of Carpofen (1 caplet) every 12hrs

300mg of Gabapentin (1 capsule) every 12hrs

Plus her normal daily stuff is: 2 fish oils, a Dasquin Msn chew and an Estradiol (for incontinence)

Thanks Sally. We just got her outside and she PEEEED! Now we are going to hit the hay. Her water in take is good, everytime we give her the bowl she drinks. She ate all her breakfast and dinner although both were at half portions. Will increase food a little tomorrow.

Again, thanks for all the advice!

She finally pooped! I would have preferred outside (or on any of the pee pads laid out) and not the living room carpet. She also peed a little on the carpet and then at some point made her way around the coffee table to throw up and then fall back asleep. We set one of our security cameras in the living to try and catch her "on the move" but it only captured her trying to sit up then falling around 1:30am. We're not sure why it didn't capture any of her other movements.  Took her outside, she just laid there and then we brought her back in after a lil bit of fresh air. Got her back to her blankets and she just stood there so we loosened the slings on her so that she was supporting herself and she was doing it until she went to shake and started to fall but we were able to catch her with the slings. She only ate half of her reduced breakfast which was at least enough to give her the Rxs. Her tummy is prolly a little upset still.
