Red Flag

4/12/2012

Oscar continued to seclude himself (again nothing out of the ordinary) in the morning.  His appetite was great and we didn't feel there was any reason to contact our vet. 

It wasn't until the afternoon around 4:00 that I noticed the first red flag.  When I let him out to use the restroom, his right leg didn't work when he went down the back porch steps.  Once he was on the grass everything was normal and he went about his business.  When he tried to walk up the steps to come inside, neither of his back legs worked.  I picked him up, brought him inside the house and once inside he walked on all fours like nothing was wrong.  Since our vet was closed for the evening by the time my husband, Mark, came home from work we decided to wait it out to see how he would act the next day since the nearest emergency vet clinic was 2 hours away.
