Thanks for all your advice and info on the wrapping to ice it too. I haven't done that yet, gotta go get the stuff to try it. I just got off the phone with a couple of vets to see what they said. We still don't have a vet for them so I was calling to see if I could find one with some large and giant experience or dogs in their practice at least..since our last vet didn't seem to have a whole lot of knowledge about them. Pyrs are seldom seen around here, so one vet has a Pyr mix that's it, but they do have Danes and Mastiffs and the other vet had a Pyr 3 yrs ago..but also have Danes and Mastiffs..so that's good. They both advised lots quiet time and rest, and to give it a few more days and see how he is. He gets a lot of rest..he isn't very high energy as it is and since he hurt himself, he lays down a lot.
So, I made an appt for him on Monday if he's still not better. I also wrote my breeder in the meantime to ask her opinion, and to her it sounds like a sprain too. She mentioned Motrin for the inflamation.. anyone know right off the dosing for that? I'll see if I can find that thread that was posted if it's not too buried.
I'll keep you all updated! I just stood there looking at him in his crate last night, getting teary cause I get so scared with all these terrible stories on the board. I kept looking at the way he sits verses the way Yiska sits..his feet seem to turn out but hers don't. Is that normal? Maybe I'm just a paranoid preggy momma.
