Hi all,
I'm taking Ed to the vets this evening as I'm really not happy with him. His tummy seems ok now, and he's peeing and pooing, and wanted a walk this morning so I took him a very short way - which wore him out - BUT, he keeps suddenly shrieking with pain, and looking terrified - all wide eyed and stiff. He's also wobbly still, but not all over, or all the time. It's as if he is having a bit of a problem with his back legs/feet doing odd things and not going where he wants them.
He very definitely had muscle spasms in his neck during one attack yesterday, as you could see his neck *dancing*, and I felt it plainly under my hands. I tried to rub and soothe him gently but it was a good couple of minutes before it went off.
I don't know what caused the other attacks as I couldn't see or feel anything obvious, but he's had two this morning already, both quite short but obviously very distressing
I'm hoping he's just ricked a muscle or something during all the throwing up, and is having cramps, and he'll soon be back to normal, but he's hellishly quiet too. He's eating fine, but just seems scared to move poor lad. It's mostly after/during him lying down. He goes to move and then screams.
As to his bed, it is fab isn't it? (w00t) Here's an ebay link Eddie's bed and here is Jane's email addy - and tell her I sent you! :teehee: jane@walmsley66.fsnet.co.uk
