If it's not one...

I hope its not the cruciate, from past experience thou (3 times ) there is no yelping etc. It was the holding the leg up occasionally and running on 3 legs that gave it away for me. Hope hes just pulled it , good luck x

I hope it's not too, but from Oscar's experience, it's looking very much the same. He's not sitting square on his backside anymore, he sits more to the side and he's very much not himself. My uncle was just round and normally he can't even speak without Cody barking and barking at him but today he just sat by my feet looking sorry for himself. He barked when they stood up to go, but soon stopped.

He has, however, just given me a laugh when he went out to pee. Now, you'd think he'd figure "well, this leg is already up in the air so I'll turn that way and pee", but no. He attempted to lift his good leg and just fell over. I know I shouldn't laugh but I'd said earlier that I'd bet he'd do that. He eventually just peed on his front feet and came back inside, leaving my uncle to leave the house with no fuss.

He's in bed now. He somehow managed to jump up onto the settee while we were out saying goodbye to my uncle, but normally if there's any little noise from our neighbours, he'll be off the settee like a shot, barking, and there's been none of that tonight. He's laid on the settee next to me for the whole night, which is very unusual. Obviously there's going to be no walking for him tomorrow. He's not overly confident on 3 legs from what I've seen so far.

Our vet's Sunday policy is that appointments are for emergencies only so I'm not sure if they'll class this as an emergency. I expect we'll have to get an appointment for Monday, but we'll see. I'll keep you all posted!

Thanks tonib. He's off to the vets at half 10 so we'll see. He's managing better this morning, but is still carrying his leg if he's moving faster than a slow walk.

Hope things have gone ok at the vets.

Any news orpheous87 ?

I hope Cody proves the vet's right orpheous87.
