daisy scare and fred's first long walk

these dogs are giving me grey hairs :2431:

i was stood in the kitchen giving daisy a love this morning, she was cradled in my arms like a baby :2431: ... when she heard a noise outside, so did fred, he went charging out and daisy jumped up and out of my arms landing on the breakfast bar and knocking a scalding hot cup of tea over and as she jumped/fell off the bar she tea spilt all over her back.... it was awful.... she was screaming in pain, i scooped her up super fast and chucked her in the sink and turned the tap on and soaked her(and myself lol) through! i rang the vets up and they asked me if she had any blistering redness etc, which she didnt and she had stopped screaming, they said it sounded like i had got her under the water in time to stop any damage, i had some painkillers left over from her op last month, so they said to give her a dose of that and keep an eye on her and take her down if she looks like shes in pain or if theres any soreness or blistering...

thankfully she is absolutely fine

i took fred out for a long walk yesterday and today to see how he would be on his leg...

hes okay and its not been hurting him not that i can see anyway... but it was clear that he did not want to run after the ball as he usually does, so im hoping he knows his limits... he was quite happy to jump about and play fight with me and play our little game of doggy tag lol... :2431: ... i tried throwing the ball before we left the field..... and he definately wasnt interested in getting it, i had to go get it.... with him trotting by my side :rolls eyes: :

we did stand and watch a police officer training his young gsd in the centre next to the field for a while though, it was brilliant to see... and fred sat there watching as if he was taking it all in.... if only :2431:

How is Daisy Doo now Shell,hope she's ok.

shes fine now thanks hun , shes gone out for walkies with nicole to give the big lad a break :2431:

i think it was more shock than anything else for her, shes a very mardy dog lol ..

twas scary though

I bet it was hun,glad to hear Fredley is getting back to normal.

cheers hun, hes doing good ...

bloody dogs eh! glad she's ok tho
and Fredly seems a little better then bless his furry socks
I noticed Bailey the other day walking in front of me I could hear one of his paws an his back leg was making a scraping noise where his nails were dragging on the pavement

ooooh no karen dont say that ... lets hope its nothing hun!

im waiting to see if freds start so scrape again :rolls eyes: :

nowt but bloomin worry these dogs :2431:

daisy can be a little whirlwind though bless her....

she wont go sleep in nicoles bed anymore since shes come back, when i go to bed, daisy trots up with fred lol.... nicole has tried tempting her with treats, but she goes in gets the treat and then runs out and jumps onto my bed for the night.... so it looks like ive got the pair of them in with me now.... wont the OH be happy when he gets back

your OH will be in the dog bed downstairs
Baily was only scraping one leg tho and didn't seem uncomfortable or in pain
is that what happened to Fred.

yes hun, he was scraping the one back leg for a while before it become uncomfortable, he also clicked when he got up and down too


i'd rather the OH be dog bed downstairs to be honest :ciggy:

Bryn used to click a lot when he was younger, not heard it for yonks though

did he

one vet said it was normal and another was concerned :rolls eyes: :

awwwww poor daisy pleased she is ok Shelley

hope Fredley is ok too hun its so bloody worrying!!

im on the edge jude :2431:

aww poor daisy but glad to hear she is doing ok after you quick reaction. and as for fred i hope he continues to improve

cheers elaine.... daisy is absolutely fine today, no blisters or red marks and shes acting normally

freds only been for a short walk today, didnt want to push him, hes also been off his food for the past few days so he can wait till tonight for something to eat, hopefully he will be ready for it :rolls eyes: :

Glad Daisy is fine, tough little blighters ain't they

So Fred is off his food is it just Fred being Fred or the tabs

lol youre not wrong sange, theyre tougher than you give them credit for

i think its fred being fred :rolls eyes: : he was doing ever so well .... we were up to two meals a day and he was gaining weight lovely, but it only takes few days of not eating much for him to lose it again, its so frustrating

touch wood Bryn has been great for ages now, I don't ever wanna go through all that again

REALLY GLAD DAISY IS OK, ONE OF MY PUPS USE TO CLIP HIS PAW WHEN HE WALKED , WENT DOWN THE ROAD OF HAVING HIS HIPS XRAYED AND HIS SPINE TURNS OUT HE WAS JUST TO LAZY TO PICK HIS LEG UP WHEN HE WALKED, AND SOMETIMES IF MY DOGS HAVE HAD TOO MUCH EXERCISE AND THEY ARE TIRED THEY WILL CLIP, FIRST TIME I SAW IT I WAS CHECKING THEIR REFLEXES ON THEIR BACK PAWS STRAIGHT AWAY, THINK I'M GETTING PARANOID

no sange.... you dont hun.... *touches wood*

hmmm thats interesting sue ... i kept a close eye on him this morning and he didnt scrape his feet..... i think i'll take him tomorrow and tire him out and keep a close eye on him to see if he does it then ....

it does make you paranoid though :2431:
