Hattie at the Vet ;( ;(

[Charlie]

This morning Hattie didn't want to get out of bed but eventually did, she ate her breakfast but refused to go outside for a wee. I noticed she was limping and wasn't putting any weight on her back left leg. I checked her paw for thorns etc. nothing. I didn't take her for a walk and she has stayed in bed all day. I have just got back from the vet who thinks it could either be her knee or hip, she said she could tell she is in pain as she manipulated her leg. She has Metacam and we are going back on Thursday, if there is no improvement they want to take X-Rays. No walks only on lead to the garden for toileting. I can't think what it could be, her and Charlie played as normal in Scotland, nothing out of the ordinary, normal walks. We came home at 10 pm last night she went out for a wee, we went to bed and she woke up like this. No sign of anything untoward. I am so worried not knowing what it is. xx

Oh no, big hugs to Hattie. Xx

Poor lamb ,hoping she improves soon Helen x

 

[Candy]

Poor Hattie, what a worry it is when they're not well and can't explain why! Hope the Metacam is effective and all goes well on Thursday. Could it be a touch of arthritis?

 

[Natalie]

Oh poor Hattie, do hope she improves soon. Metacam is a wonder drug as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Atemas]

Was she laying in the car for a long time?

 

[Beanwood]

Poor Hattie, hopefully meds, being waited on hand and foot for a day or two will help x

 

[SwampDonkey]

Hope she's ok xxx

 

[Charlie]

Was she laying in the car for a long time?

Yes she was, we had a long journey but did stops for wees, drink, food and leg stretch. I thought that but it would have been over quickly? x

Could it be a touch of arthritis?

The vet didn't seem to think so as it was such a quick onset but can't rule it out. x

Sorry to hear lovely Hattie is having some pain. I hope rest is the cure xx

 

[Oberon]

Was she laying in the car for a long time?

We’ve had significant stiffness/soreness issues caused by this in the past (with our first doggie).

I hope the Metacam does the trick for the poor girl.

 

[Joy]

So sorry to hear about poor Hattie. I hope she gets better soon.

 

[Jacqui-S]

Poor Hattie.
I would think soreness from holiday bookies followed by long journey a reasonable get too
Hope she perks up and is better tomorrow xx

 

[Lisa]

Poor girl. Hopefully the meds will work their magic and she’ll be back to normal soon.

I feel a bit stiff after a long car ride, too...if that is what it is I can relate

 

[HAH]

Poor Hattie - hope she’s more comfy tomorrow x

 

[Stacia]

It must be a worry for you, cold be as suggested above, that Hattie got stiff in the car. Hope she feels much better as quickly as possible.

 

[Emily_Babbelhund]

I hope you get answers soon and of course that Hattie is also back to herself soon as well. The not knowing the cause is so stressful.

 

[Xena Dog Princess]

I hope a couple of days of r&r are all she needs.

 

[Charlie]

I feel terrible that it could be the long car journey They have plenty of space in the car to move around and stand up. We also had significant delays due to motorway accidents. I must tell the vet as I didn't give it a second thought.

Thank you everyone. xx
