Vets again this morning

[kateincornwall]

He slept on the bed and hardly moved all night , I put a blanket over him to keep him snug . This morning he seems a little brighter in himself though nowhere near how he usually is and his tail still droops badly . Maybe a very short walk this afternoon, I`ll see how he is xx Thank you all xx

 

[MrChew]

Oh poor Reubs. I hope he feels better soon and this is his last drama for a good long while.

 

[kateincornwall]

Reuben is usually a very enthusiastic dog, he loves everyone and everything , so to see him just laying around , looking miserable is just horrible . It is a shame that he cant have NSAID`s , they would help so much I`m sure , onwards and upwards , he will get there eventually xx

 

[Boogie]

I remember Gypsy having cold tail. It’s awful - so much is said through that wagger!

 

[kateincornwall]

Face says it al xx

 

[Boogie]

Ohhh, darling boy

The way they look! ‘Make it better Mum’.

 

[Jacqui-S]

So sad to see Kate, though it IS short and self limiting.

 

[kateincornwall]

Makes you wonder what they understand . I`ve been chatting to @Emily_Babbelhund on the phone this morning and when I got off the call , I looked at Reubs and told him that once he was all better, we would take him to see Auntie and Carbon , I got the smallest end of tail wags as his reply xxx

 

[Boogie]

I can’t say my friend’s name without Tatze running to the door and looking for her.

 

[Selina27]

Oh he does look sorry for himself,

Makes you wonder what they understand .

A great deal !

A friend came over for walk yesterday, as we were approaching our garden I said to her "cuppa tea?". Cassie, who was tootling about on some business only she knows turned round and shot back to us all excited and wagging her tail (oh sorry Reuben) going to and fro the gate! I realised then it's what I say to her when she gets the bottom of my teacup!
So I'm quite sure Reuben knows who you were talking to!

I looked at Reubs and told him that once he was all better, we would take him to see Auntie and Carbon , I got the smallest end of tail wags as his reply

or ...or both!

 

[MellowYellow]

Lots of gentle hugs to Reuben xxx

 

[kateincornwall]

On a plus , he has not lost his appetite , but then ...... Labrador

 

[kateincornwall]

We had a sort of half wag this morning , so he is getting there slowly but surely xxx

 

[Naya]

How’s Reuben this afternoon @kateincornwall ? Is he wanting to play or go out yet? x

 

[kateincornwall]

I`ve just taken him out , off lead . He was desperate to retrieve but its far too soon yet . I checked with the Vet who says he must stay on the high dose of paracetamol for a couple more days . He is brighter in himself certainly and is valiantly trying to wag xxThank you for asking xx

 

[kateincornwall]

Looking much happier today, he wants to play and desperately wants to wag his tail which is still swollen at the base , but he is brighter x

 

[Emily_Babbelhund]

Oh my, I shouldn't laugh given how pitiful Reuben looks in that photo, but at first glance I thought you'd given him a whole chicken to tempt him out of his funk and that was it on the floor. Then I thought, "Oh my goodness, I think it's still got feathers on it!"

Yes, it looks like a large chunk of battered chicken! No wonder Reuben’s looking a bit sad if it isn’t!
More for his poorly tail.

 

[kateincornwall]

You`re supposed to say how happy he looks However , I forgive you because he finds it hard to look happy for photos , its all about the sympathy
