Wise Old Thumper
Hey guys, could do with a few opinions before I go in to my appointment tomorrow.
Lola is ten. She has spondylosis along her whole spine which we've been managing well, most of her pain seems to be in her hip type area. She also has dental issues requiring dentals every 6 weeks ish which she deals really well with.
Monday night she was her usual bouncy self.
Yesterday morning she wasn't eating. I gave her the usual meds and hoped she'd perk up by the next morning (which she usually does).
This morning she wasn't perfect but was pretty chipper and eating a little so I gave her all the meds again and expected her to be fine when I came up for lunch.
On lunch she was in a very odd pose so I picked her up to feel her tummy. When I put her down she was sort of swaying from side to side. She let me feed her critical care with no attempt to move which is unusual. Later she hooped from one room to another but was a bit stiff/wobbly.
After work she had moved back to the bedroom and seemed really depressed. Uninterested in food and did not want to move.
Since then she's really perked up and started eating quite a bit but I can tell moving is still uncomfortable/ difficult for her.
Recently her back has been too bad to get on the bed but I noticed on lunch there were some poos on it so it's possible she's hurt her back jumping off the bed.
I am really unsure if this is likely a temporary pain from the jump and I should give it a few days or if her spondylosis has just reached a point that its too much for her, or if she hurt herself jumping down but with her condition she's unlikely to recover from it.
She last had a dental about a week back so her teeth shouldn't be a problem
