Ok so, today I notice Denny is dragging one of his back feet. He'll put pressure on it, he'll walk on it sometimes, but sometimes he drags. It's not swollen or broken, he just drags it. I touched it and he didn't react, and he doesn't act in pain. Yesterday I kind of noticed he was a little slower on that side, if that makes any sense... Just a little more uncoordinated? I can't explain it, but I could tell something was off, but I thought he was just being a weirdo. They've all been acting off lately.
Could this be related to the "seizure" he had? And why would it start now? I'm hoping he just sort of sprained it and it will be okay. Like I said, he'll USE it, just mostly he drags it.
Rubin yesterday, he looked like one of his lips was bitten! But I hadn't noticed any scuffles between them. That's likely what it was, though. They need more space, and fast. I think they're getting irritated at each other more and more often. But usually no one messes with Rubin; he's just kind of "there". Anyway, it was swollen, and he was holding his tongue off to one side (but in his mouth). I know it hurt, because he nipped at me when I touched it. I gave him some children's ibuprofin. Today it looks better, tongue is back in place and I can touch it without getting the stink eye. But what the crap? Lip? But he is looking better, so I'm not sure what else to do about it besides watch it. But I wanted to mention it in case there's something I'm missing.
