Hi

As you all know Harvey started to limp a few weeks ago and was x-rayed about 10 days ago. The report has just come back from the specialists, and apparently he has damaged a ligament, not a muscle strainn. So we have to rest him for another 6 weeks, and he's back on Rimadyl.

So fingers crossed that will do the trick!

[clairiscrazy]

im just wondering what do the vets mean by rest?? looking at rosze now i dont think she could sit still for longer than 5 mins what have you got to do to make them rest???

 

[Fay]

He said short on lead walks - no running off the lead, and no jumping around. It did start to improve last week, but over the weekend, when we are all at home, he was more excited and it got worse


Thank you Vidhya - at least he does like to sleep a lot

 

[clairiscrazy]

awwwww poor harvey lets hope these 6weeks fly by for you both so you can get back to normal

 

[Fay]

Thanks Clair - I hope so too

Hi Fay, fortunately wasn't nothing more serious. The bad side of it will be Harvey not being able to play for 6 weeks so much, but everything will be OK. Regards,


Labrazil.

Thanks for the update, Fay. Poor Harvey, could have been worse, i guess. Hope the Rimadyl works for him - i know Shadow has been a revalation since he went on to it daily. Big hug for Harvey,

Hi Labrazil and Paul

Thanks for the messages - It will be hard to stop him playing, but worth it in the end. Just want him to be better, bless him!

Hi Fay,

Poor Harvey.

Hard things is though, his body may need resting but he still has active mind eh?

Make a Lab rest for 6 weeks is like making tea in a chocolate tea pot surely ! :lol:

 

[Fay]

Hi Rhoni,

Very true :lol: But luckily for us, Harvey is quite lazy!! Only has maybe a mad 5 minutes once a day

 

[mommy]

Fay,

Can you get Harvey to have a quiet word with Tilly and Bailey please :lol:

 

[Fay]

[mommy]
