I'm over in the UK with some of the dogs and Leo has been scratching a lot more than usual. Then, he fell off the bed yesterday and a coupleof hours later went into a screaming session several times, which was extremely distressing for all as well as terrible and frightening for him. He defecated all over himself and vomited several times. We got him to the local vets who were very good; he got a painkiller injection and rimadyl and tramadol. Very groggy all evening and still a bit this morning, but comfortable. I spoke to Clare Rusbridge on whether to bring him to London and opt for surgery and we went through the pros and cons.
For now we are going to get him stabilised and see how he does. If he has further problems then I will bring him across again for surgery or on our next journey over. He now has a grade 4 heart murmur (at only 6 ) that came on very quickly so I have that in mind as an element to consider too.
At least I am glad I had him here with me. Hopefully he will not have one of these again.:xfngr:
