Regression

It's just so frustrating...knowing SOMETHING is bothering him but not knowing what. She even felt his back, said a back injury they can sometimes feel down the leg...more common in front legs but does occur in back legs occasionally but nothing wrong there. Said it's possible his not wanting to go in the snow could be the uncertain footing (snow).
Now of course he doesn't want to go outside unless I go with him and he won't walk around the yard to have a poop unless I walk with him (or he'll stick by me) and play with him! And the outside stairs well...he's banged his paw a few times from running up too fast (to get it over with fast) that he doesn't want to do them! I have to carry him up them. Hes just too darned smart lol.

 

I'm not sure Gloria...perhaps if no improvement after a week and X-rays. He did definitely hurt it as I saw it happen. As to a ramp it's not that I have to pick him up lol but I'm a sucker to seeing him hurt himself on it....perhaps I need to take him out on leash and make him take the stairs slowly. He's getting skittish about them, not a good thing!I'm really hoping the Meloxicam does the trick...I think it's the repeated injury that's delayed his recovery.
