Yuki and Zyrtec haven’t been getting along. I had planned to call the vet because I hadn’t noticed any changes on the medication, and she was having accidents almost every day. \u00a0The day I decided, “ok, if it happens again, I’m calling the vet”, Bacio has a freak accident.\u00a0 To this day, I nor the vet really know what happened. \u00a0We went out in the morning as usual. He did his business and ran up the stairs. \u00a0He didn’t eat his breakfast, but sometimes he doesn’t, so I didn’t think anything of it. \u00a0After getting some work done, it was time to take the dogs out for their longer walk. Yuki got up all excited to go out, I put her leash on, and called Bacio to come over.<\/p>\n
He didn’t come.<\/p>\n
Whatever, he’s weird sometimes. I went over to him and clipped his leash to his collar. \u00a0That usually makes him pop up, do his excited wiggles, and be ready to go.<\/p>\n
He just laid there….<\/p>\n
I tried to coax him up, but as he tried to lift himself with his front legs, he started trembling. \u00a0Bacio could barely get himself up. Did he slip earlier going up and down the stairs? It happens sometimes, he always goes way to fast. \u00a0I carried all 65lbs of him down the stairs to see if he would start feeling better once he got in the fresh air. \u00a0By the time I was at the bottom of the stairs with him, I could barely walk anymore… (This dog mama needs to not only update her blog more often, but also hit the gym more frequently).<\/p>\n
We got to the sidewalk, he started slowly walking. \u00a0He only made it two houses down before he walked into the parkway, sat, and then laid down. Bacio wouldn’t get up.<\/p>\n
Queue the internal panic. Externally I was trying to stay as calm as possible for my beardog. \u00a0I immediately called the vet. Of course it was 12:02pm. The vet closes for lunch at 12. \u00a0As soon as I could, I called them, and they got me in ASAP.<\/p>\n
