Kai's not very well. I had noticed over the last couple of days that he was lethargic, particularly on the walk, and walking almost like a dog with early CDRM. I was very alarmed today seeing 13 year old Kiri with more energy than him. So as soon as I got home from the walk a trip to the vets was organised for this afternoon. The doggy doctor gave him a good going over and discovered that his prostate is the size of an orange! My poor boy, no wonder he was feeling so ill.
With Mikey confined to the other room and Louis wound up like a coilled spring I guess hormonal Asha has a lot to answer for at the moment. But at least she's finally in season, (and only 3 months late) so we can at least now see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Hopefully this will be the end of it for Kai, unless he needs another injection to sort it over the next few weeks. If it reoccurs with every bitch that comes in season then we will need to explore other avenues. Apparently neutering helps some dogs with prostate problems, but sadly not all.
Kai's behaviour at the vets today was impeccable, even with the liberties taken with him today he didn't put a foot wrong! (being blunt -a rectal examination) The big boy never lets me down, he's a star.
