It eventually all released, but took a long time. He may well still be traumatised mentally, he does look so sad in the second picture. What a bonny dog he is still.

Thanks Luz, we've been doing tellington touch on him again which helps to chill him out and then we can manipulate his joints abit. He had metacam for a week and he really seems to be ok physically though I'll probably still get him checked by the chiropracter when they're next in town (come once a month). He's just a wary wee boy again, but we'll go back to his clicker and treats and what can loosely be termed as "encouragement" which involves me walking around like a gabbling chicken getting excited over little things like sitting at the edge of the road without checking all around him first (bless his heart). We'll get there don't worry, I just wish for once it would happen to another dog to give him a break (if it has to happen to anyone).
Thanks for your kind words.

Thanks Katie - he'll be ok in the end *is determined* even if I have to wrap him in bubble wrap and bounce him down the street!

Poor Ziggy, he does look so sorry for himself in that picture

I am sure this setback is just temporary. Perhaps he just needs more time? Even if the vet gives him the all clear, like you know yourself sometimes getting over stuff like this knocks the stuffing out of you a bit?

Big hugs, don't cry, he will be himself again in no time!

Poor Ziggie, he does look very timid and uncertain in the second photo

If you can do it, the chiropractor might be very worthwhile. I considered training as a chiropractor/osteopath myself a few years ago. Even little, inconsequential bumps and knocks can misalign things and cause problems.

Lots of hugs, and hope the sausage roll trip went well and he's a little more perky

Hi Kick, Just read this. Sorry to hear that he's lost his confidence - I'm sure it will soon return with all the TLC you're lavishing on him. It is only a couple of weeks since the moron with the claxon caused his accident. Just enjoy all of the cuddles - sending you both more hugs XXX Hope he's soon back to himself.
