Ugga-7yr old french bulldog (calcinosis cutis)(Ugga crossed the bridge)

Well, I'm pretty sure I jinxed ugga by coming here and posting about how well he's doing. He's been acting very strange the past couple days. He will pace the living room, stopping to stretch every 30 seconds or so. He'll stop in the corner, stare at the wall (sometimes he barks) and then move to the next corner. He's not chewing on his bones at all which is not at all normal for this usually active guy. He's also much sleepier than usual. Eating/drinking/elimination is all normal. He has an appointment scheduled for Friday afternoon, I hope he's ok until then. If he's worse tomorrow ill take off work and get him there. Ugh :(

Dang jackie. Just when things are going along fine too.
Hopefully this is just a weird thing and not an alarm bell for Ugga. He's been through so much and over come so much already.
Everything fine with the eating, drinking, pooping? Will he interact at all?

Hang in there!
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Hi Sharlene. Yes, he's eating, drinking, and pooping normally. He does interact but sometimes it seems like he can't hear us. All he wants to do is cuddle. Something's bugging him. It's really bad timing too as our Newfie is not doing well and it looks like we have less than a month with him. Hopefully what's going on with ugga is just a weird thing that's treatable. Hugs to you and miss Molly.

Oh no I'm sorry about your newfie. They are such big wonderful cuddle bunnies. I call Eddie, the one two houses down from me, the gentle giant. He's just adorable and just slobbers all over me when I see him. That is usually because I'm down on my knees or sitting on the grass with him and he tries to crawl in my lap. I know that is heart breaking to think of only a little time left with yours.
I do hope that it is something simple and treatable with Ugga. What is he having done at the appointment friday?

Hang in there Jackie.
hugs

Thank you Sharlene, we are heartbroken. Lou is the best dog we've ever had and it's very sad to see his health decline the way it is. Cancer can kiss my a**...seriously!! I wish I could take him in for acupuncture but he's just not portable anymore, it's very hard to get him in and out of the car. My poor big guy :( :(

Some good news, Ugga seemed a little better last night. He played for a few minutes and only made a couple laps around the living room. He's still doing the stretching thing and he was limping a little when I got home from work. Something hurts him but I'm not a vet and really have no clue what I'm poking around for. I'm not sure what he'll have done friday. We did a full blood work up less than 2 months ago but things can change quickly so maybe we'll do some more blood work and possibly x-rays or an ultrasound. I guess it depends on Ugga too, we'll have to see how he's doing. My vet is in surgery all day today but wants me to call her immediately if things start to get worse. Right now he's sleeping comfortably.

Thank you so much for your concern and support, I really appreciate it! Big hugs to you and Molly :)

Oh yes, I do understand, mobility and newfie's is a tricky situation at best. heck even Eddie who is still just a baby, admitedly a big baby, but less than a year old, can have problems going in and out of the back seat of the car. I agree, cancer blows.
Sounds like Ugga is having some pains. Maybe a shoulder? thinking of the stretch and limp. Acupuncture might help if that is the case.
I know I say it all the time, but hang in there.
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

So sorry to hear about your big guy.. :( Newfie's are so beautiful.

Jackie, So sorry you have all this weighing on your heart. It reallly does stink :( I know how loved your fur-babies are. Just know that thoughts and prayers are being sent to you and your lil babies.
Big hugs, Pat

Thanks guys, that means a lot. Hugs,

Jackie and Ugga
