The Used Dog's Misadventure

[slowp]

Glad he is on the rebound. My dog just had her rear leg operated on a few days ago. those bullys have so much muscle and often not enough bone & tendon so they end up trashing their hind ends. so 4400 bucks later, she has bionic rear legs like the now old lab chow mix that we have. Give the used dog some rimadyl, it should ease his pain.

How does she get around? That must be rough. I'll have the Used Dog send happy thoughts. Maybe he's doing so now. He's snoring.

Yeah gypsy is a baby there I will post a recent pic later to the used dog and you slowp



little older here lol

here she is really saying hi to the used dog she said woff woff when I told her to say hi!

She wants you both to feel better!

Pay very, very close attention to any dog you're giving Rimadyl. It made our old dog very sick which resulted in a two night stay at the vets. The vet of course immediately stopped the Rimadyl. Some dogs react very poorly, others do fine. I'd give Used Dog some unbuffered asprin to help take the edge off the hurt. Ask your vet.

Shes laid up in my vacant bedroom at my mothers house. She had one leg done a few months ago with great sucess. So she injured the other recently and went to have it fixed. She is able to stand and walk enough to go potty, but she will be lame for the next few weeks. After that its back to the normal ball of enriched plutonium.
Those bully breeds along with Labs have an unimaginable tolerance for pain, they can shrug off what would make an average human fall on the ground and pass out cold.


Im sure the used dog will feel much better with the proposition of a walk. & thank him for the happy thoughts would you?

Poor guy, The dogs lucky to have you. To take him to the vet. Hope he makes a full recovery, Sounds like he will.

My used dog. He's offering support while asking for a belly rub. go figure.

OUCH!!

That's gotta hurt. Poor pooch!

Congrats on surviving the drive. I was all about Warp 6 getting mine to the E-Vet after his last bone headed move, and was a bundle of nerves. It's no fun at all, and cuz they can't talk it's even worse for worrying.

For giving meds, we learned to use a chunk of Hot dog and slip the pill inside.
Our old Daisy taught us that one. One chunk with no pill and then another with it. Otherwise ya gotta reach your hand down all the way to thier stomach and drop the pill.

Close call. Glad everyone came out OK.

Stay safe!

...Those bully breeds along with Labs have an unimaginable tolerance for pain, they can shrug off what would make an average human fall on the ground and pass out cold...

That's for sure! Once I was playing on the floor with my Lab and she smacked me *really* hard in my head with her head...

I was dying from the pain, and not a yip or a yipe out of her. She looked as if nothing had happened. Yet she got the same bang I got.

BTW - The proper name for a Labrador is a "Labradevil Food Retriever"!

He's fine this morning. He's out for his morning routine. I'll do the pill chucking pretty soon. He even left the bandage on his leg, where they had an IV stuck in.

Best wishes slowp to your buddies full and healthy recovery. Its tough when they get hurt. Sounds like he's doing well though.

Best wishes from my dogs to yours. And from me, I hope your vet doesn't chrges as much as mine does.

My kids and I moved the kennel across the yard yesterday so my ##### thinks she is living in a mobile home now. She wants to wear a tube top instead of a collar.

Good to hear that the U.D. should be ok. I've got a soft spot for furry critters and hate to see them hurting. Here's to quick healing.

The Used Dog went to work and stayed in the office all day. He's ready to be an 'ologist now. He is working on his map reading and coffee drinking.:greenchainsaw:

 

[BuddhaKat]

That's bad ass Patty. He'll be the envy of all his friends if he goes out and tells everyone he got cut in a knife fight over a b###h.

 

[GASoline71]

Or was "attacked" by a bear or mountain lion, and won...

One of my buddies and I were deer hunting... and he shot a nice 3 point Blacktail (6 point for you guys that count weird). He was leaning over a stump when he shot and his rifle scope "bit" him on the forehead. Drew blood and everything. So the big story is he was attacked by a mointain lion and fought it off with his pocket knife...

Good to see the Used Dog is BAU again Patty.

He came home with horse sized antibiotic pills and rimadyl. I've never given him pills before. I'll start out with the cheese method and peanut butter method. I'm hoping he'll gulp them down in a feeding frenzy.

Peanut butter and rimadyll worked for my old dog.

hot dogs work but give a small piece with no pill first then try to excite the dog a little so gulps the second piece with the pill inside all else fails push it down throat.

Good to hear your pal is ok BTW gypsy thinks the used dog is a stud

LOL, I called that technique Rapid Fire. The secret was, give them a treat they like, but give it as fast as they can swallow and open their mouth again. If you give them time to think about it, they'll spit it out every time.

Most dogs will swallow anything in order to not miss the next treat coming at them. I'd just wrap the pill up in some bread, but in my dog's case, I could have used cat poop. He'd eat anything. Yech! Wasn't hard to tell when he'd been into the 'kitty candy'.
