When we were at CAS seeing Dr Edmund, mummy explain to him how I cried and immediately he explain to mummy that I had spinal related injury coz only such injury will cause doggies to cry the way I cried.
He then examine me thoroughly to make sure the diagnosis is correct. He get his staff to obtain my record from the other vet to make sure I have no other underling problem. He is careful, observant and experience.
Mummy heave a sign of relief to finally get to the root of my problem and that proper medication can be administered to me to relief me of my suffering.
Why we go to the other vet? Coz CAS if far for us and the other vet was near when we live. Mummy had decided that from now on, she will only come to CAS.
On another note, Dr Edmund had done an excellent surgery on Oreo previously saving her broken shoulder. It was so bad then that she might have to be amputated but he had done his best and save her leg.

Injury Part 2
On Mon night when mummy tries to put eye drop for me (I have dry eye), again I felt the pain that makes me cry again. Note, cry is loud wailing, not whimpering or whining. Again it send mummy into a frantic search trying to find where my pain is. after squeezing, pressing, she still can't get the spot where I am painful. Same goes for Tues night when she cradle me like a baby to put eye drops for me, I felt the pain again. Then again when she sat me on her lap and when she kisses my head, I whimper. Now she is guessing if I had knock my head agains the kerb when Porsche drag me. Mummy says a prayer for my healing and also for God to give her the wisdom to find out what is wrong with me. She hasn't been sleeping well coz she is so worry. I had never cried this way before. Not even had she heard Oreo cry this way when she broke her should into 3 pieces. She is SOOOOOOOOOO WORRIED.
On Wed nite after mummy's lesson, she went thru the same routine checking me and testing where I am painful. Then through her observation from the past few nights, she notice I had not been lifting my head up high the past few days. It went unnotice when I was recovering from anaesthesia but now she sees that I do not look at her with my head lifted up but just roll my eyes upwards to her. I had been walking around hanging my head low, I whimper when she exert force on my head when she kisses my crown. NOW At last! She knows I had injured either my neck or upper back.
She had decided not to go back to the vet that did my dental and not able to find out where my injury was. She decides to take me to CAS the next morning Thur or day after on Fri.

Injury Part 1
I was injured on 12 Dec in the morning prior going for my dental apppointment. I saw a cat and wanted to chase and play with it but Porsche was terrified by cat and was tugging our joint leash the other direction. Before mummy could see what happen, I felt a sharp pain and sat down immediately to cry!
I was crying so loudly that it freaks mummy out. She quickly check on me and unleash me to carry me while going to granny's place.
She decide to go on with the vet visit since she can get them to check my injury. When we were at the vet, she told the recept about my injury but the recept looks blank. So mummy also spoke to another obasan staff there and again... another blank look. Finally she speak to a vet technician. Guess what he ask? Not about my injury but if that means mummy want to have me get a consultation (means $$$ involve). Fine, so we wait while they take my blood sample since I need to have a blood test to see if I can do well on anaesthesia.
When comes the result and the consultation, apparently none of the staff told the vet about my injury. So the vet simply say that explain why 1 of my test result shows so high but still within safe range. It indicates liver as well as muscle, so that shows I have muscle trauma. He just briefly check my leg and body and say I'm ok. Then comes the $$$ question. If mummy willing to pay additional $ for me to have I/V drip during the process which will be safer since the indication of liver/muscle on the high side of safe range. Of course mummy will pay to make sure I am safe and what is best for me.
After the whole ordeal of dental scaling, mummy came to fetch me and I was so drowsy and does not want food or water. At 1 point of time when mummy carry me when at granny's place, I felt the pain again and I scream! Now that really makes mummy worry. She had almost sleepless night and praying that I will be better the next day which is a Sun.
On Sun night, when mummy was taking a shower, I kinda pulled my painful injury again and this time I send mummy running out from the shower to check on me while I cried loudly for almost a minute. She called the ER line of the vet and the clinic manager took the call. She told mummy to check me step by step and was quite adamant that I am fine, probably thinking mummy over-reacted. Mummy wants to send me to the vet the next morning and was told to bring me after 10am,
When mummy was there on Mon morn, the clinic manager says she told mummy that the vets are engaged in procedure and no time to see me. Then she ask mummy to leave me there so she ccan help to observe me. Mummy was angry and told her that she brought me there to be seen by a vet and not to be observe by a non medically train staff!
Oh well, we get to see the vet eventually and still he can't find what is wrong with me. Mummy have to ask for painkiller for me for "just in case". He think that I probably just recovering from anaesthesia and more irritable and grouchy and that he find no problem.
What to do? I wish I could talk and tell mummy where I am hurting!
