Today started with Charlie totally off his normal game.
He didn’t even eat morning food and when he went outside, he just walked over and laid on the frosty lawn. After that Chris actually had to carry him inside… Charlie never did any of these things. Yet alone let anyone carry him.
Over the last weeks, I had noticed he was getting a bit hesitant doing actions like hopping into car or onto his chair. Sleeping more, but still totally energized when doing something or going for a walk.
Hmmm… Detour to the Vet.
We luckily got a quick appointment at our LFP vet. After examining Charlie, he had no obvious problem, except possibly pain in his back/hips/stomach… Got a couple prescriptions to help. We may be doing more at the vet in a few days.
So for now, he’s snoozing from the Pain medication effect. For the next 3 days, we have to keep him slowed down until we learn more.

Our Travels will be a bit different,

i am sorry to hear that charlie isn't feeling great, and i hope with rest he is back to his fancy free self.
Sending you both good thoughts for a quick recovery. Former dog guy in North City
Sorry to hear about Charlie. He looks to be a lot like my Cavachon, same coloring and he is half cavalier King Charles. He experienced what I thought were issues with his throat and was prescribed medication for pain. Turns out his throat sounds were his response to pain in his back. MRI showed herniated disk and required surgery from which he made a full recovery. Before surgery he could barely walk. Hope you don’t have to go that route but very common in the King Charles breed.
Get well Charlie so you have more adventures to share.
