<div>My dear Roland, OEBE CEO, had to step down from his duties during the past 24 hours and remain a couch/bed throw. He couldn't walk 2 evenings ago. We found him at the foot of the stairs standing up, so I'm not sure what happened.</div>
<div> </div><div>I put him to bed ASAP, along with a <font style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">rimadyl</font> tablet. As soon as the vet shop opened, we were there. Roland got to see his co-favorite vet, Dr. Julie Rowley. X-Rays showed no broken bones, but manipulation of his hips and the resulting pain led Dr. Rowley to diagnose a soft tissue injury. She prescribed rest and some anti-inflamatory drugs and a pain killer. Also some glucosamine product called Dasuquin, which also has soy and avocado. This last product is supposed to be liver flavored, but Roland spits it out w/o the addition of peanut butter.</div>
<div> </div><div>Roland does rest very well normally, but he's not into complete rest <strong>WITH NO WALKS</strong>, He wants real walks involving a little speed. He cannot do the stairs, so it's trips on a leash to the front yard for all elimination purposes. <br>
</div><div>He would welcome visits to his couch by his hound friends. It just takes time.</div><div> </div><div>J<br></div><div><font color="#3333ff" size="4">Janice Henry Colvin</font></div><br>
