philstory 83 Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 Hard night lamping monday night. Then wednesday morning me lurcher (ted) whilst jumping in car for morning walk before work yelped out in pain. So felt him over and when touched his back yelped again. So gave him some loxicom . No improvement so took him vets yesterday. She said it probably muscle strain he was tense all down his back. So got another bottle of loxicom and to rest him (obviously) and bring him back in tuesday. What's people think couple of weeks lay off? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chook1 184 Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 Personally if it was me i would get him to a chiropractor ( not bone man) as bone men can be to harsh in their treatments some times and don't treat the whole dog, http://mctimoneychiropractic.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=50&Itemid=1 Mine regularly see a friend who does McTimoney-Corley just to keep them maintained and flexible, that way they tend to get less injury's and muscle strains. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sandymere 8,260 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 From your description sounds like the muscles have gone into spasm to protect themselves from further harm. It will settle with sensible pain killers and gentle exercise. Bring it back gently as once the spasm has settled the underlying strain will still be there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
