To make a long story short, the doctor's diagnosis was that Urho - for one reason or another - has a sore neck muscle. He was advised to take it easy for a few days, and if necessary, we could also give him some pain killers. Fortunately, no medication was needed as he quickly started to recover, and in no time was again fully back in business and enjoying life. We were delighted.
But just an observation - take a look at the picture below, showing Urho asleep in one of his preferred positions. Makes you wonder - if it was neck pain, could this "stretchy dreamer pose" have something to do with it!?

Voi Urhoa! Urholle vois sopia Back On Track -tuotteet, etenkin jos kylmällä vielä vaivaa lihaskivut. :)
ReplyDeleteOur daschund had a similar problem this summer. His was a herniated disc in his neck. He had to be on bedrest (in his crate) for 3 weeks@ And he had to wear a neck brace. It was not much fun, but he's made a full recovery. We learned that back/neck problems are common for this breed. Glad Urho is feeling better.
