ObedienceGrrl Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Tater has a slipped disk! It was horrible. He just screamed bloody murder on Wednesday night. I couldn't get him into the vet until this morning. But that is the verdict. I knew it was either his back, luxating patellas, or Legg-Calve-Perthes disease (VERY common). I just couldn't tell where his pain was coming from and I didn't want to poke and prod him. So he's on steroids for 2 weeks and he is to do NOTHING for 6 weeks. I am to carry him everywhere. The vet said that the university would say cage rest, but she knows what a good mommy I am with my kids. And, she also knows that Tater came from a puppy mill and was kept in a rabbit cage. He screams when he sees a cage....so I know he'd hurt himself ever worse by trying to get out of the crate. So, he's going to be even more spoiled than he is now!

ObedienceGrrl Posted February 6, 2005 Author Share Posted February 6, 2005 After one full day of steroids, he's feeling much better! So it's like trying to hold water in your hands. He's EVERYWHERE! So if I sit still, so will he. I need to get one of those little carry things, like a baby sling, so he'll stop following me when I clean!
