What a scare that must have been. Speedy recover Riley.

[Happy-Mama]

Poor Riley, that must have been awful for you. Am glad he is on the mend

[Cooks]

oh my goodness my staomach turned reading that! I am so glad he's ok and will make a good recovery

[Ain't Nobody Here]

I took Riley to my vet yesterday. It's been over 4 weeks since his accident so I just wanted him checked over.

 

I thought he was recovering quite well but was aware that his hind legs still didn't look quite right when he was walking. Anyone else probably wouldn't have noticed. He's obviously not in pain but does labour up and down steps (and onto beds!)

 

The vet watched him walk up and down the pavement and said that his odd gait is nothing to do with his hip . He thinks he must have damaged something further up his spine . We have to keep him on short 15-20 min lead walks for the next 4/5 weeks when I should take him back in to see the vet. He said he could do an x-ray but there probably wouldn't be anything he could do so there's not much point.

 

We'll see if he recovers over that time and maybe get an x-ray then, just in case it can tell us what is wrong.

 

At least Tesco Pet Insurance will have to pay out a bit more .

Poor chap. Let's hope the shorter walks and a bit more rest do the trick.

[Olly]

oh dear - poor Riley, hope it's something that will recover with some rest.

[Space Chick]

Poor Riley

 

Hopefully with rest he will improve.

[Plum]

What a blow. Poor old Riley, I do hope the shorter walks work. Please don't go on holiday for a bit.

[Chook n Boo Mum]

ANH, has the vet mentioned hydro-therapy...that'd be swimming to you & me!!

 

My eldest 2 labs have had leg problems (crutiate ligament for Jess and luxating patella x2 for Poppy ) & have both benefitted hugely from swimming sessions. Lots of the other pooches who go to the dog pool have spine problems. Now they just go for the fun of it..they love leaping in off the side...my baby Daisy has taken the "warning..do not bomb..do not run...do not shout..do not etc etc etc" sign and made it her purpose to do everything she's not supposed to

 

Hope he feels better soon, poor little man,

Oh bless him, it must be really hard to keep him still. I hope it gets better soon.

[Gamebird]

I hope the restricted lead walks do the trick.

 

I would be inclined to not let him jump on and off beds for the time being or even go up the stairs. He won't be impressed with that bit of advice.

[Janty]

Poor Riley.

 

 

Hope things improve for him.

[chick wiggle]

Aww, poor Riley, and poor you, hopefully he will be back to normal soon. Best wishes

[Lesley]

Poor Riley - I hope the short walks help.

[Ain't Nobody Here]

I'm really pleased to report that Riley is doing a lot better. We've all noticed a difference recently and he's actually starting to run while on walks (we're letting him off the lead for slightly longer walks now).

 

Still not 100% back to normal but I feel a lot more hopeful that he'll make a full recovery .

 

[Snowy]

Thats really good news ANH! Go Riley!

[Space Chick]

He's a gorgeous boy, glad he's improving

[chick wiggle]

aww, what a gorgeous doggy, well done Riley, keep up the good work

[Hens@HalfMoonLane]

Think you've got a poser there!

[Janty]

That's good news.

[Chook n Boo Mum]

Fantastic news ANH, & RIley, keep up the good healing poppet

Smashing news. He is a handsome devil.

Brilliant news - glad he's getting better.
