Skippys Hurt Himself....sigh

[Missymoo]

ok so he mated my bitch on the monday and tied, nothing looked out of the ordinary (I dont intervine, just watch unless needed) then the next few days he would mount her, hump then just slide off like he was too tired, no slip or tie...I just put it down to the weather (hes from Switzerland, so humidity is crap for him) then he got quieter as the days pregressed, until yesterday when he didnt want to even go for a walk.

He is still eating, will wag his tail for food etc...seems semi happy still, just flat.

So I booked into my vet yesterday and after a poke around and health check (everything good and normal, temp etc) she said he had strained his perinium (part between the anus and ballsac) as he sqeals when you touch it. We are thinking he may have pulled it when he mated the bitch, although I didnt notice anything...?

Has anyone had this before? he is on anti-inflams and needs to pick up by boxing day or back we go.

Hes in a pen in the kitchen and I take hi out for toilet 3 times a day, but he seems to just want to sleep (and eat when I offer food, lol)

Any thoughts welcome :D
