Our latest ailment is some unknown pain Sam is feeling in either his neck, shoulder or leg or a combination of them all. Somehow on Friday, he hurt himself. Not sure what could have happened considering he did nothing all day but rotate between rooms for sleeping. By the time David got home, Sam was walking around very stiffly and would yelp/cry every time you talked to him. This has happened before - its almost like he gets a crick in his neck, making him very uncomfortable and unable to lift up his neck. A good night's rest usually clears it all up.
By Saturday, he was worse and crying in pain like I had never heard him do before. He had spent most of the night moaning every time he moved and fidgeting around to find a comfortable spot. We tried to get him up and moving around throughout the day but that seemed to make it worse. We also tried a heating pad - see photo below - but that didn't last very long....it made him too hot.
So we just left him alone. Sunday - he was better, but still not 100%. Then this morning, as usual, he got up to eat and his spunk was back. Not sure why it took almost two and a half days to recover from this unknown injury, but at least he is better.He's had a rough go of it lately - last week I took him to the vet for his yearly shots and within 10 minutes of being home, he had an allergic reaction to the shots. His face was blotchy and he had hives all over his back. One dose of Bendrayl and he was good as new.
