Emergency Visit to the Vet

It all started on Sunday night coming home from my parents house. Cody was sitting on my lap, we were almost home when Cody began to cry.. well yelping is a better way to explain it. We didnt think to much of it we thought we must have just pulled his hair in between our arms while we were holding hands or something.. anyway later that night we were setting up E.A. Active that Russell got me for our 32 months of being married!! Cody yelped again this time we thought he must have had a nightmare because he was sleeping the all the sudden crying!! We tried to get him up to play since he is usually VERY wild as in the picture below Russell would throw a toy and cody would go get it and bring it to the carpet and with each toy he would put them in the same spot on the floor and would not take it back to Russell as usual for several hours we debated on taking him to the vet but then decided to wait and see how he was doing in the morning.

Moday morning he seemed to be doing fine so I really didnt think I needed to worry about it.. till Russell came home for a little while at 9 pm before heading back to work for invintory, cody was playing some but when we tried to find where in hurt he would not lay on his back at all!! and russell play this game where he hides the toy under the blankets and waits for cody to find it. I had enough when cody cried when he was trying to get the toy then was all shaken up and would even let me touch him to comfort him I decided to take him to the vet!

They took his temperature and that was normal the doctor couldnt see what was wrong but when we set he on the ground he was really hunched over and not holding him tail up he decided it would be a good idea to take some x-rays and that would show us if he was really constaputed, swollowed anthing he shouldnt of, or what else was going on! I felt like such an over paranoid mom!

The x-rays showed that there was a normal about of bowel so that was good, his spine all looked good up till his sacum Cody has a dislocated bone in his tail!! We have no way of knowing how chronic the dislocation is or if it is a new injury but he is definintly in alot of pain!! Codys tail now is very visiably hanging to the right side! This does explain how from his very first bath I gave him he would not let me touch his tail so I can't but help feel that this is all my fault from holding onto his tail trying to get it all brushed!!!

We now have two types of medications the first is a liquid pain killer and the second is to prevent inflammation because where the dislocation is at there are a bunch of nerves that we dont want to get pinched! Its so hard to get the medication in him..and to add to that he wont eat and he is having really runny diaherrea I just feel so bad and hope we can get him feeling better soon!

Our Crazy Stunt Doggy!

Today when we went to the store we took Cody with us like all dogs Cody likes to have the window rolled down now yes there has been a few times I thought he might jump so it would make me a little nervous but he never tried till today when he succeded yes thats right our crazy dog JUMPED OUT THE WINDOW I thought I was holding him good but apperently NOT!

We were lucky we were not going that fast and we were in the right lane stopping to turn right! He jumped and rolled Russell was driving so he pulled quickly over and I jumped out to grab him there was a car pulling up behind us i was super scared that the car would not see Cody because he is so small!! Cody got up and was really disorented.. when we got back in he car he would not open his eyes and one looked a little swollen.. We wondered if we should take him to the vet but we had food so we decided to go home and get the food put away and see how he was doing!!

After a little rest he was up jumping and playing being himself again so we are still keeping a close eye on him! I was very shaken up and scared for our little dog! I am so glad he is okay and still can hardly believe he JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR WINDOW!!
