How many here have dealt with CHP during the summer?
I have only heard of it during winter esp. after cold weather forces the coon to den together for warmth.
Luckily, I've never had to deal with it.
Mike- It sounds to me like it could be pulled muscles or inflamation. If he doesn't improve in a few days I'd suck it up and get a vets opinion just to be safe.
Ozzy's a good dog and better to be safe and out a few bucks then lose him to something that could have been prevented. Let me know if you need any help.
Sorry to hear about your lab. It's been a tough few days at your place. How are the kids handling it?
