well, sparny is back home. he's not quite with it at the moment from the sedative they gave him so they could x-ray him. the brain has been a bit ahead of the body since i picked him up. when he tried to jump into the car he fell back out onto the ground, the poor little thing. he was staggering around the car like a drunk too & didn't seem to figure that it might just be better to sit down & wait for the ride home to end rather than try to put his paws up on the arm rest & put his head out the window while i was driving. he tried his hardest & got there eventually, but fell back down quite a few times.
now he's lying around having a rest. he was sitting near the front screen door before, looking out with glassy eyes. as long as the pain killer they gave him doesn't make him sleepy he should be back to his old self within a couple of hours, i imagine.
in the x-rays you can see a small bend at the base of his tail, right near his bum, which we're assuming is what was hurting him, but it's funny you know, because a couple of years ago we saw a bend downwards in his tail right about that same spot, which didn't seem to cause him any pain at the time. it must have righted itself on its own, because we didn't do anything about it since he wasn't suffering at all.
they sent me home with some painkillers for him to take for a week with the expectation that he should be as right as rain by the end. if not, then we take him back to that same place, or perhaps we can suss out a new vet a bit closer to where we are around here. signs of improvement also means stopping the whining which he's been doing for a number of weeks which we took as a stress & attention thing from moving house.
i feel kind of bad if the whining was from pain, but he really didn't seem to be showing any sign of pain, just wanting attention, because if we played with him then he'd stop. well, we'll see how he goes over the week.
lol is sparny a dog?
thats just an insult lol. Get better soon
Luv SparnY
