Hi, on Thursday night, had my back to the dog, (BC) heard a noise, thought she was just flopping down, next thing I heard a banging and crashing, turned round and she was flopping round like a fish out of water, somehow she ended up on her bed, but was dribbling, peed a bit, obviously panicking, talked her down, seemed OK on her front but couldnt pull herslf up, eased her on to her feet to a more open area, she wobbled and fell over. Arranged emergency visit to vets, got down there, vet carried her in, put her down and she walked round surgery! Flexed her backk legs, good movement, Took her thru to weigh her, she trotted thru!. Vet gave her an injection (painkiller?) and 5 days Loxicom.
While it's a relief shes OK it's also an expense I could do without. She's been fine since.
Don't know her age, supposed to be 6/7 in 2013, but always been convinced she's older. She is overweight at 28kg, so husband has finally agreed to cut evening biscuits out. (She gets chicken for breakfast and supper, complete meal and tinned meat at teatime, the biscuits after evening walk, so she now has 1). Never very active, prefers to lay under table.
Any thoughts and advice please? Obviously distressing, don't want to go through that again.
