Re: Squirt - Atypical; melatonin, lignans and Lysodren maintenance
Awwwww! Best post I've read from you dear Leslie. I've missed a lot on my long break here, but it is always so enlightening to come back to my special place and read happy moments shared with the "bebe".
Good night and maybe the bed bugs will get your "bebe" and you up and around again sometime soon....:D
Love and tight ones.

Re: Squirt - Atypical; melatonin, lignans and Lysodren maintenance
Squirt has hurt her back left leg somehow. :( I was able to get the non-skid boots on her twice, then no more so I figure she slipped on the floor. :( She isn't putting much weight on it at all. She's not complaining with it, no yelping or whining, just not putting much weight on it. There is absolutely nothing I can do about it this month other than what is at my disposal at home. I get paid in 3 weeks and I'll have it xrayed then if I can't sell enough stuff between now and then. If the pin or screws are damaged again....well, I can't think about that right now.
Re: Squirt - Atypical; melatonin, lignans and Lysodren maintenance
I am so sorry to hear this Leslie. Dont think about the pins right now. Maybe she just twisted it somehow. Did you check her toes? Zoe was limping from a sprained toe, when the Gp pressed her toes, when he hit one place, she yelped.

Leslie:
I am praying for you and precious Squirt. I know one time I went to one of my vets other offices, and they were doing an xray on Tipper. I told the girl who took her to be careful how they held her for the xray, and not to let her walk on the slippery floor, to carry her to me. She came out with Tipper walking on the floor and I was furious. She said "Oh I forgot sorry". Well needless to say Tipper walked on 3 legs for days, and could not go for a walk. The girls at the other office all know not to put Tipper on the floor and watch her legs. I am so sorry Squirt is having troubles. It is so hard when you try to keep them from injuring themselves, and they want to act like a normal dog. Tipper gets really miffed at me when I carry her up the steps in the garage. She actually gets an attitude, like I want to do this myself. I do not want to risk injury to her after she fell on the steps months ago, so she will just have to lose the attitude. Hopefully after some rest off the leg Squirt will come around. I know this is serious because of the pins etc. so I am praying for her. God Bless you Leslie for all you do with these babies.

Oh Leslie, I am so sorry. I know how hard it is with our senior pups. Sending you positive thoughts and prayers for a very speedy recovery.
Re: Squirt - Atypical; melatonin, lignans and Lysodren maintenance
Leslie,
hopefully it's just a strain from moving the wrong way. I'd say it's a good sign that she's not crying out.
Crossing my fingers!
Re: Squirt - Atypical; melatonin, lignans and Lysodren maintenance
Ah Leslie,
When did this happen? You could limiting her activity by confining her to a crate or small room and force her to rest her leg. Of course, you know this already.:o Sending prayers and healing energy you way. Big hugs,
Re: Squirt - Atypical; melatonin, lignans and Lysodren maintenance
Oh no Leslie, do we never get a break. Maybe she just slipped and it is a little sore since she is not crying and a night's sleep will help it. CoCo's back legs are so weak and tiny, I think about giving him a Baby Aspirin, but with his stomach I am afraid it would hurt him, although my vet has suggested it. I hope she will be okay tomorrow. Love, JoAnne
Re: Squirt - Atypical; melatonin, lignans and Lysodren maintenance
Oh Fudge. I take it that it is the leg with the screws and pins? Well, maybe not damaged. I agree with Addy, lets not go there right now. Hoping that it's minor and clears itself up in a couple days with limited activity on it.
hugs, hang in there Leslie

Leslie: I hope Squirt's leg is better this morning and you both got some needed rest. Love, JoAnne
