Chewie has a sore shoulder

[Loraseal]

House arrest is not fun but rest is the best x

 

[Lab_adore]

Oh poor Chewie, I hope it all heals up quickly and he is back to his happy self

 

[HAH]

How’s Chewie getting on @MrChew ?

 

[MrChew]

He's back to normal now. I guess it was probably a muscle spasm given how quickly it resolved. He was reluctant to climb into chairs and beds for a couple of days but is back to his usual wiggly self now.

 

[Lab_adore]

YAY!

 

[MrChew]

This issue has recurred recently. Off to the vet today. He seems fine when walking but can't get comfortable lying down and is pacing and whining at night. My concern is that it's a cervical spine issue.

Hmm, poor fellow. It could be all sorts, easier said than done but try to suspend judgement until you’ve seen the vet. Good luck, keep us posted!

 

[Lab_adore]

Oh no, poor Chewy and poor you for the worry. I hope it is something minor

 

[MrChew]

The vet agrees it's a neck issue, but the good news is he doesn't have any weakness. We have Gabapentin and carprofen and instructions to rest.

The bad news is that it could be a disc issue, in which case it may well recur or progress. I'm not ready for him to have chronic health issues yet.

No, I'm sure your not.
I hope the painkillers help him get more comfortable and relax any tension which might be adding to his problem xx

He's still my tiny baby! But I guess they (both!) will always be that to me.

He is currently resting on "his" rug in the foyer. Hopefully we have a better night tonight. He was quite worried at the vet. He let her do all the things and still went to her for a treat but he is smart enough to know what's up. I'm glad I had a bag full of liver treats. And she produced a packet of kangaroo jerky to give him as well.

I do hope Chewie feels better very quickly and it is not a recurring problem.

 

[MellowYellow]

Poor Chewie... hope he feels better soon.

 

[Cath]

Poor lad

 

[Candy]

Poor Chewie! Hope he feels better soon.xxx

 

[Granca]

Poor Chewie.

 

[Lisa]

Poor boy. Hope it clears up and doesn’t become chronic.

 

[MrChew]

He's obviously feeling better. I caught him trying to counter surf the entire Kenwood chef bowl because it had banana bread mix in it.

 

[Kelsey]

Always a good sign!

 

[Granca]

He's obviously feeling better.

That’s good! Are you feeling better now too, @MrChew?
