Wenn sie aus den fäusten bricht

Shit, shit, shit, shit. Spike did something to his left wrist this evening when that squirrel leapt over his head. He did do some quite spectacular aerobatics trying to catch it - he must've landed wrong. He's limping badly on it now.

Have looked over and felt it very carefully and there's nothing bleeding, loose, crunchy, sticking in, sticking out or making him wince, so it looks like a pulled muscle type thing. I'll see how a night's rest affects it before I do anything. This happened once before and he was fine inside 24 hours.

note to self, check LJ for the last time it happened. Was it the same leg? Because that'd be a worry.

ETA: Arse. Why the hell didn't I say which bloody leg it was? But it was a year ago, so it doesn't necessarily mean he has a recurring bad leg. I hope.

My Allie has a trick knee that goes out occasionally. I remembered to mention it to a vet once and they just said "it's a trick knee" and didn't suggest any treatment. She's what, 13 now? and it still goes out occasionally but no more than before and hasn't led to any problems. She still tears across the lawn like a cartoon character. Maybe/hopefully that's all that Spike has - a trick wrist.

It could be something like that. I can't bear to think of anything wrong with him.

he's not limping this morning, anyway. phew.

thanks :)
