Poor Ralphie Bots decided to do one of his acrobatic death-defying back flips from the sofa last night and fell awkwardly. He had been walking funny this morning, and I thought it might just be a sprain so I left it a few hours but he looked pretty forelawn and unhappy when I got back from so I decided I needed to take him to the vet. Poor Ralphie didnt like that much at all and shook with fear the whole time he was in there -- poor chap has probably had enough of vets poking and prodding him after his last big operation at the Royal Vet College. Anywho the vet was a bit worried that he had broken a bit of a his elbow - his 'coracoid process', and apparently this is quite a common thing for spaniels. So Ralphies on dog-bed-rest for 2 weeks. Hopefully that will sort him but otherwise he'll need an x ray to confirm (or not) whether hes got this boney injury. I'm worried about my little man and will be giving him lots of cuddles (even more than the record amount he usually recieves, over the next couple of weeks). Poor dog splodge isnt even allowed to go walkies. :(
