Spitfire is not doing well

I blame Ian (and my worrying). His limp is getting a little better but he is still worse than any before. I moved his bowl of the ceramic tile on to carpet so he has more grip. I have had to tell Ian stop as he wants to play. Still not anywhere near before and I have to lift him over the door sill but I am 'less' worried. Thanks for the input, and he is still an old man and I will still worry a LOT.
 
Please check the paw fur (if not trimmed regularly it can make floors slippery, and that can lead to other bad things).
I have so many cheap throw rugs from WalMart I bought to help Gavin with my tile and wood floors, too.
And I did move to booties as things progressed.

Glad things seem to be progressing in a positive manner....
 
Sorry to hear this. The dementia/stroke thing is hard to watch--just as it is with a person. I hope you can get him in and he can get some meds to help. I always keep metacam on hand for sudden injuries pain management. but he may need something a bit stronger at his age...
Having just gone down this road I feel for ya.
 
More and more I think he just got hurt bad and does not crash as well. I think he was in a lot of pain. His limp is almost gone and so is his stumbling. Still sleeping a LOT and you can see he is cautious of moving. So I am letting him rest as much as I can. See what the vet says tomorrow.
