Oh no Buggie! At least you're running out of things that can go wrong. Things have to start looking up! I hope Bug starts feeling better too :( Isn't Bug lyme positive too? Do you think he's also having a flare up?
Yup - the Bug is also Lyme+. The bummer is that he doesn't see Dr. F so we will have to go the conventional route if that is what it is. I really need to get him in with the cvh - for all my angst about it I feel much more comfortable with homeopathy.
You know these healing things rarely go in a straight line, so hopefully this is just a little blip....keeping our fingers crossed and sending our best healing thoughts.....((HUGS)), Kathy
I spoke with the vet yesterday and she suggested ice and an NSAID. Since I do not have NSAIDs in stock at my house we are doing ice and Traumeel. Since Bug is not flat-out lame vet is thinking it might be something other than TBD, like a sprain of some sort, etc.
Ike is the first dog that is purely my own. We have overcome some big hurdles with his fear of people (how can you avoid them!) and continue to work on building our confidence in the sport of agility. Ike takes life at a much slower speed than I do, which is a challenge. My goal for our partnership is to figure out a sport or joint activity that Ike and I can enjoy equally and excel at together. This would be in addition to Ike's #1 sport, lounging on the couch; which I don't really enjoy or excel at.

Carmen is a 9 yo salt-n-pepper Miniature Schnauzer from the same breeder as Ike. I started working with Carmen in the winter of '08 after my DH told me we could not get another dog until the end of 2008 (enter Bug 5/08). Little did I know how much joy she would take in agility and what a spitfire she would be. We are having a ton of fun working together. Unfortunately, Carmen was diagnosed with PRA (Progressive Retinal Atrophy) in 10/08 and has been retired as her vision continues to change.

Glad to hear good news about Ike, but sorry to hear about Bug. I hope it's nothing serious!
