Thank you all for your concern for Cody.
He ran a very nice Open water mark series Tuesday afternoon, and then a really great water blind in the Am. He clowned around as usual at the ribbon ceremony for the open, and had his picture taken
Wednesday we got up with high expectations for the Am water marks, and found Cody in extreme pain, and hardly able to walk. A very capable vet here at Sturbridge, MA did an initial workup, found an elevated white blood count, and suspected an inflamation or infection. Rimadyl and antibiotics did not help. Today she took a series of x-rays which appeared normal. She then referred us to the Tufts Vet School. We left him there tonight for a complete workup, starting with an ultrasound. The admitting vet there pretty much ruled out an injury. She suspects a severe infection, either tick borne or meningitis, or, worst case a tumor near the spine.
We hated to leave him there, and hope and pray for better news tomorrow.
