Well, I took Legend to the vet yesterday. He was fine through having some blood drawn, having the vet lady prod him while he was standing up, etc. But when she got him lying down and tried to feel his bladder, he freaked out and tried to bite her. Bad sign. For those of you who don't know greyhounds, they are typically very docile and well-behaved for vet procedures, there being a lot of that at the track. So the fact that he reacted so strongly shows that something in there really hurts.
They're running the blood tests now and I'll have more information tomorrow. It could be something simple, like kidney or gall stones, or something more serious. I'm trying not to worry. Timing is bad, since I'm leaving the country tomorrow for 10 days. But my good friend, Terry, will be my proxy while I'm gone.
You know, I didn't realize how attached I'd become to this animal until I heard him cry out in pain. Let's all keep our fingers crossed that he's o.k.
