Not quite right

[kateincornwall]

You know when your dog is a little under the weather but you cant actually say why ? This is Reuben today , he was a little low last night and today when we came home from shopping he didnt come to greet us as he usually does . I will take him for a short walk this afternoon and see how he is , no retrieving just a gentle woodland walk and if I`m not happy with him in the morning , I will call the Vet xxx

Is he eating and drinking?

 

[Selina27]

Hope this comes to nothing Kate. xx

Is he eating and drinking?

He is eating but not drinking as much as usual . I dont think . Just back from a short even walk , I noticed a slight dip on his left leg , very slight indeed . I had some paracetamol from when he had cold tail so have given him one with pate on it . I`ll see how how he is in the morning xxx

Hope he soon perks up x

I hope you have a good night and he’s his usual bouncy self in the morning. I’m sorry you’re having to worry.

 

[MellowYellow]

Oh I hope he's ok tomorrow Kate xxx

 

[Jacqui-S]

Agree with the others Kate, hope he's back to his usual bounciness tomorrow xxx

 

[Kelsey]

Poor boy, so sad to see them even a tiny bit off, we always notice it. I hope after a good nights rest he is back to himself

 

[Naya]

Hope he’s feeling better tomorrow x

 

[Lab_adore]

Fingers and paws crossed for a quick recovery

 

[Granca]

I hope he’s back to normal tomorrow.

How is Reuben today?

 

[Cath]

How is Reuben this morning Kate?

 

[kateincornwall]

He seems a little better thank you xx He had a good night, eating and drinking , his slight limp is not as bad as it was but he is not going to playgroup today . I will watch him carefully and see how he goes, thank you for asking and for your good wishes xxxx

 

[Selina27]

That's good Kate, maybe he had just tweaked a muscle or something. Cass can sometimes have a day or two like that, sometimes I think I know what's caused it and sometimes I don't. She miss judged jumping over a stile a few weeks ago and definitely was a bit sore for a few days xx

 

[HAH]

Good news Kate - as @Selina27 says, I think they can have twinges and niggles like us which take a day or two to ease off. Hopefully it’s a passing mystery x

Pleased to read Reuben is feeling better this morning, a relief for you.

Did you check his paw? Perhaps a thorn? Or a cut. Hope he’s back to his usual self very soon. I guess dogs can have an off day, like we do. I also worry and have to stop myself thinking it’s an emergency and an immediate visit to the vet, rather wait and see.

I have checked his feet, no thorns or cuts but he does have a split nail on the left front paw , this is the side where he seems to have the slight limp , so I guess this may be the reason xxx
