Have friends giving their elderly Springer Alleve . . . . . they think she's senile. Go figure. Thanks again, Christina!

Got in from church and brushed Bear out while Tucker did his biz. Then, reversed. By the time I finished grooming he was acting more himself and was using his leg agin. I've let him outside on the desk to frap with his brother (2 wks. younger and 2x bigger - more of the poolie than the terrier.)
I appreciate your follow up, very much. I'll limit his exercise today, give him another aspirin after dinner and watch him closely. He may have bruised a pad on a nail head on the deck. So, I'll get out and wail on that once I feel fairly certain most of the neighbors are awake.
If you know of anyone studying genetic/neuro (T2 Syndrome) in this breed they're welcome to communicate with me. He's the first of his kennel to display the trait and I've had UTK and MSU Vets weigh in on this. So far, so good. Feel very lucky. He's just got a 15-20 degree tilt to his head whenever he is looking straight ahead.

Doing well, thanks! Will continue to watch him closely, dose him again tonight. If this doesn't resolve by Tuesday, we'll head to the vet.
Thanks so much, Christina.

A close friend in CO Springs just adopted a 1/2 Wire Haired Pointed Griffon/Irish Wolfhound and has some questions which would be in your area of specialty in terms of unpredictable agression. How can I refer her directly to you?

Aspirin seems to be doing the trick.
Thanks for the follow-up.
Referred you on to my friend with new adoptee in her "pack".
