Doppler has recently started to do this weird thing when he eats. Virga just dives into her bowl and scarfs her food, but Doppler has to be told like 20 times to 'go get it' (we make them both wait until we say to eat). Then he'll stand at his bowl and dart his head really quick into his bowl, grab a couple of pieces of food, drop them onto the carpet and then eat the food. It's very frustrating because Virga gets done with her food and tries to check his bowl out and he growls at her. It's an every day occurrence in our house and it's getting quite old.
Now to Virga, she started limping early yesterday and it got progressively worse as the day went on. She tries to play like normal with Doppler but her leg won't support her whole weight. So she mopes around all day. I've been carrying her down the stairs and lifting her down from furniture so she won't jar it anymore. She eats, drinks, and uses the bathroom like normal. But she holds her foot up while she's sitting. I've felt her entire leg from her shoulder down to the tips of her nails. I've manipulated all of her joints with no sound from her at all. I've checked all of her pads and nothing. I'm at the end of my rope with it for right now. So she's going to the vet this afternoon.
Sorry for the long post just wanted to rant. My husband is deployed overseas so it's just me here dealing with this.
