He's got miraculous form for bouncing back so I didn't post at the time, but when I booked him in on the Tuesday I didn't expect he'd be coming home. On the Monday night he lost the ability to stand completely, his legs just weren't working properly, front or back. We heard him scrabbling around in the hall in the early hours and all signs pointed to disaster. I carried him to the garden and he couldnt even stand to pee, he just did it lying down. He was in exactly the same way in the morning, just couldn't support his weight at all. I spoke to the vet at 9am and managed to book him in for 3pm. My wife popped home to see him/eat at 12, and she was expecting the same thing...but he walked to the door to greet her. Vet gave him the once over that afternoon and suggested an arthritis flare up. Perhaps he sprained himself during a nightmare (he has them loads these days), or maybe even pulled a muscle during an epileptic fit he may have had (they do occasionally happen, despite the tablets). Whatever it was he was only incapacitated for a few hours.
So long story short, he's still doddery as hell but is enjoying his slow walks again and acting like nothing happened.
