More Jesse Update

Yesterday, Jesse seemed to be doing much better, so Steve and I left him for a few hours to sleep and heal and we went to a movie. Upon our return, we were thrilled to have Jesse meet us at the door, tail wagging, something he hasn't done in a few days. Jesse was so excited to see us come home that he instantly went into what we refer to as a "tear", running around the house with a smile on his face. We were very happy to see the old Jesse shining through, but instantly tried to calm him, as we didn't want him to overdue it. Too late. Jesse let out a cry, slowed down and hasn't moved fast since. He seems, to me, to be in worse shape than ever. He's back to just standing with his head hanging low and yipes at the slightest touch. Thankfully, businesses are back to normal hours and I've called first thing this morning for a vet appointment. The vet has asked that we don't feed him in case he needs to be sedated. My heart is breaking watching him in so much pain. We feel hopeful that it is something that can heal, as he was making so much progress. Seriously, one should NEVER Google symptoms if they are already worried. NEVER EVER. EVER. I'm off to give Jes a little doggie massage and acupressure (if he'll let me touch him today), as it has seemed to help his poor tense little body relax a bit in the last few days. Again, I'll keep you posted...
