Noticed something a little odd about Khan this morning. He appeared to
be holding himself funny, a little scrunched over. And, kept attempting
to sit, like he couldn't stand up for more than a second. He went
downstairs to his favorite sleeping spot, but I kept having nagging
doubts about how his back end was, so called him back upstairs and
watched him climb the steps. No problem. Watched him walk, and it was
a little funny. Took him out, where he attempted to pee, but all
scrunched over, like he wanted to poop instead. Then it struck me.

Called him over, lifted up the fluffy tail and found a piece of grass
hanging half way out. One little yank (he didn't like that at all), and
it was out. All of a sudden, I have a happy, smiley dog who is walking,
running and doing everything else just fine. Miracle cure, that's what
it was.

I dunno about you, if that were ailing me I'd be happy once it was
removed....

Nietzsche thought he was the Antichrist or Dionysus,
but that was after the syphilis crossed the
blood-brain barrier.

Hee hee! A miracle indeed! Bet that elevated you in Kahn's eyes!

I've "cured" a couple of my dogs this way, when something stringy they
shouldn't have eaten doesn't get digested, and won't come all the way
out... That little bit of unwanted aft stimulation can really make a dog
miserable.

And then me when I have to wash the dog's behind when we get back home.


I've heard that its a fairly good idea not to force it out, btw. If its a
blade of grass or something relatively small it'd probably be okay, but if it
is something like dental floss or otherwise potentially long or clumpy--
anything that could be tangled up in there--don't yank it out. Call the vet
instead....

I certainly hope that the silly goose learned to come to me if something
like this were to happen in the future. He scared me half to death, and
I had visions of running out to the vet to find out that there is
something seriously wrong with him. Your dog acting like his hind end
can't really hold him up is NOT fun.
