Hi
Puzzling we went to our first vets as I don't know the opening time of the new ones ,so we were there at 8.05 with no appointment they opened at 8.30 and the receptionists opening comment was no appointment you will have to wait ,but Mr Marsden one of the two proprietors was on and so we went in first at 8.45.Her temp is fine and I tempted her to eat some Butchers wet food prior to going but she seems very tender around her back end and her hind legs the vet homed in on my comment that from our back garden they have to jump up about 300 mm into the back porch but Rosie waited for Dawn to lift her in but then again she came up the stairs to me and jumped on the bed but like all Cavs who are not well shes very clingy and just wants to stay by me ,so Mr Marsden concluded a strained back muscle and gave her a pain killer injection and said no walks just rest and to keep an eye on her .So really a bit inconclusive ,but my big fear is her patella or hips so on the way back we stopped at the park to give the other three a quick run and I popped Rosie down and watched her follow me which was an effort for her but she did walk what seemed normal about 30 Mtrs then sat down ,so we scooped her up and took her back to the car .For Rosie's Bank Holiday no walks for her and she can sleep upstairs in one of the travel crates for the next few days so i can watch and listen and hope it is just a leg or back strain from her enthusiastic rough and tumbles with Pops.Shes lying by me on the bed now and just rolled onto her back but yelped again so something is not right .I put Frontline on them all and gave them a Drontal last night but my fear is still her hips and patella .

I have been checking in on this thread throughout the day but only got time to post now. I'm so sorry this has happened to poor Rosie. Did the Vet give her any anti- inflams?
Something similar happened to my Rudee years ago and I didn't allow her to jump up on anything or climb up or down steps (even one step) it took about a week for her to come right again.
I hope Rosie has just strained herself whilst playing and hopefully some crate rest will see her improve over the next few days.
Give her a gentle kiss from me :lotsaluv::hug:

Poor Rosie,
Hopefully it is a muscle strain that will settle with rest & anti-inflammatories, and she will soon be playing with the others again.
