Our Harrie Boy started to jump around on 3 legs again a day after (Saturday, 15/10/2011) he had to 'jam brake' while playing chase with Bee...
That was not the first time he had to 'cripple', so although we were worried, we decided to wait a few more days to see whether he'll automatically recover, just like last time.
However, his condition seem to worsen instead as days passed by. He became more and more 'weak' and looked tired all day. He would lie inside his playpen the whole day. Not only that, he was not excited about his food anymore. We couldn't bear to see him suffer anymore, hence Bee's Parents brought him to the vet on Thursday (20/10/2011), around 11am.
Below are details narrated to us by Bee's Mama:
At first all of us thought he had to undergo an operation to remove the extra nail-like growth on his left paw. Luckily, the vet decided that Harrie need not go under the knife after all. He was jabbed with anesthetics and within minutes he was deep asleep. That was when the vet did a thorough check on his painful paw.....
And then the scary part took place. Dr Vet took out a plier-like thingy and pulled out the growth from Harrie's little paw. Not only that, he digged all the bits and pieces of the growth from the 'hole' until it's clean. It bleed a little, but not much. Voila~! Done.
Apparently Harrie had to stay at the Vet's until he wakes up, which was about 4pm. Bee's parents went to fetch him home and boy, was he excited! He was as hyper and as active as he previously was! We were all so happy to see our Harrie Boy all cheerful, cheeky and greedy for food again! =)
Despite having to limp and have his tiny paw wrapped with bandage soaked in medicine, he was jumping around playing chase with us happily =)
Harrie Boy, you're a strong dog and I know you know all of us LOVE you alot eventhough you're naughty! =D
