Angel had his teeth cleaning appointment yesterday, w/ one small extraction. Came home, everything has been fine.
I gave him his pain meds at 10:00 pm before bed. They gave him buprenorphine, which I hate because it keeps him awake, & he doesn't sleep & get the rest he needs. Poor baby has been up sense yesterday! I checked on him to see if he was sleeping when I got up at 2;00, & he was fine, but awake. He was sitting up at the time, so was o.k.
I heard him use the litter box at 3:30, so o.k. I got up at 4:00 to go to the bathroom, checked on him again, & he was laying down.
he got up & was limping on his left leg. He was moaning & groaning when I tried to touch it. He will only lay on his right side.
He is trembling a little, I could feel it when I petted him between his shoulders.
I called the emergency vet, & they said they were so busy, it would be a 3 or so hour wait, anyway, so instead of stressing him out going there, I am waiting for his vet to open at 8:00. It's now 6:15. I already left the vet a message that we would be there as soon as they open!
I just feel so bad, I know he is hurting. I have no idea what could have happened. I never heard him jump off anything, etc..
In fact, I even tried a few times last night to either put him up on the bed, or on the couch, but he always jumped down, & went back to the floor.
He was fine then. Walking normal. He never tried to jump up on any furniture last night, but was fine. No limping.
I just hate this waiting!
He has never limped from any shots before so, I don't know whats wrong, but something definitely is.
