Schatze has had a rough week. We went for a long walk last Tuesday and by Friday, she could barely move. She was stepped on when she was a puppy, so she has always had a bit of a limp and a skip in gait. Right now, she is on anti inflammitories and acts like nothing is wrong, but for about an hour when she wakes up, she moves like a little old lady. The vet can hear "crunchies" when she moved her leg around and supposes that her knee cap is dislocated. I am supposed to keep her "quiet". Has anyone ever met a "quiet" dachshund? I don't think they exist. I get her all settled down and then she hears something and wants to run. I have to take her back to the vet since she is still pretty pokey without the medication.
Aww..so sorry to hear about Schatze. I hope she gets to feeling better real soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us know.
Hugs.
Please get better Schatze. You have fans that care and want you to be back to normal fast!
ReplyDeleteOh no! How sad. I feel bad when animals hurt. Yes, how do you keep a dog down? Poor sweetie.
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling dog. Hope she feels a lot better very soon.
ReplyDeleteNice blog layout.
My family had a black Dachshund when I was young and he ran into a survey stake at full run opening a wound in his chest. It took some stitches and time but I fully understand what you mean about trying to keep such an active dog quiet and still. I hope recovery comes fast for Schatz.
