Lenore gave a loud yelp of pain in the middle of the night as she tried to get up from her dog bed, and then another, louder one later. I looked at her paws and legs, they looked fine and were not sensitive, but I noticed she was having trouble lifting her head. When her chin is touched, or her head turns, it is clearly very painful for her. We’re going to the vet this morning to have it checked out. Labs, like border collies, are stoics, but I can tell she is a very unhappy and uncomfortable dog. More later.
