I´m so sorry to hear that Anyway, I think it is best that you observe him tonight then bring him to the vet tomorrow as soon as the vet open!! Don´t be so worry just accompany him tonight and don´t let him walk around too much!!

Take care and pls keep us updated on his news

Yes--try to keep him calm (and off the leg as much as possible) and then take him to the vet as soon as possible. Good luck and snuggles to spike!

hi , i had a thread called" ive a decision too hard for me to make." when prince hurt himself, there were a few helpful ideas in it . from what happened to prince i would suggest you make spike comfortable , gently press around his legs and back to see where the discomfort is. i would keep him under watchful eye to see if he worsens , in the morning if theres no improvement go straight to vet . so sorry to hear this its a hard thing to go thru, you feel so useless our thoughts are with you.

aww poor spike ... definitely update us on what´s going on!!

16.May 2008 17:29

i hope spike is not in too much pain.

16.May 2008 17:36

our buddy, spike, we´ll pray for your condition. this also happened to my dog, puccini which we also didnt know whats the cause of it. we just took her to the vet asap..the pug family is here for you spike

Give spike a comfortable place to sleep. Don´t touch the part where spike hurts. Bring spike to the vet as soon as the clinic opens. The vet will determine the extent of the injury. An xray might be required to find out if there are fractures. If there is non the vet would probably prescribe medicines to ease the pain. It will take time to heal a sprain. Less activity will do Spike good.

Hear hear! All of the above, good advice. Keep him quiet and go to the vet as soon as he opens.
We hope that he feels better soon! !

Oh I feel bad for Spike... try to get him to the Makati Dog and Cat Hospital. I know they´re open 24hours. It´s near the gate entrance of Bel Air, and near Ateneo Law School and Rockwell. You can give them a call at 896 6386. Hope he feels better.

sorry... I just realized that you might be in Baguio and not Manila that´s why there´s no open clinic. Hugs to Spike.

17.May 2008 01:02

feel soory about spike...hope he will get soon. take him to the vet for proper diagnose just in case.

17.May 2008 01:08

Poor Spike, lets hope it´s just bruising, but as everyone here says, do try to keep him still. I wish youluck tomorrow and I join with the others here to say we´d love to know how he is. Its such a worry when our dogs are poorly and they can´t tell us exactly where it hurts! from Wally´s mum. X

hi everyone..thank you so much for the messages, advice and well wishes.. thank you for the advice to keep him calm and comfortable, we just let him sleep on the bed and made him comfortable, we didnt touch hisleg so we wont injure it further... this morning we took him to the vet as soon as possible, good news is, its just a sprain and no internal injuries..thank God. he was just injected with painkillers and they told us to not let him stress the leg too much..

thank you everyone!

17.May 2008 14:44

so glad spike is feeling better I hope he recovers soon as possible

17.May 2008 15:53

Hey Spikey our good buddy!!! Glad to hear you´re gonna be fine. No jumping and running around. One advice Spike and let´s keep it just between us. Try to act limping a little longer even though it doesn´t hurt anymore so you could sleep on the bed. Shhhh...just between us. No one will know. Hehehe.

17.May 2008 16:53

So glad to hear this!!
