Pictures and update Hello Ladies. First of all I wanted to thank you all for your suggestions and advise. I know you must all be thinking what a terrible mommy I must be to not know my own dog, but I guess you have to be in that situation to understand where I'm coming from. Here are before and after pictures. The before pictures are not very recent or good since he had pretty long hair sometimes covering his eyes and now his hair is pretty short and you can really see detail on ears/eyes/etc. He was turning 1 in his before picture. He is now 1-1/2.
By the way, I spoke to the vet yesteday and they do not scan the dogs there when you take them in, but I remember him taking x-rays of Mambo's legs one time that Mambo jumped from the bathroom sink and hurt his leg. Nothing hapened to him then, but we did discover that he had a "condition" of his legs, a congenital problem, in which his kneecaps were slightly to the side instead of to the front. I remember the vet showing me the slight deformation on the x-ray and hoped that by doing the same for him now would prove if it's him or not.
Yesterday I was feeling much better about the whole situation since he had already gotten over the strange initial behavior and was acting more like he was before he ran away. I knew deep down that those were his eyes and the tender look of his face, but being the analytical, anal person that I am (I am a Computer Tech ladies!), I finally took him to the vet and he proceeded with the X-rays.
IT'S HIM!!!!! It's my baby. He has the same deformation of his knees (not that I am happy about that), but I am just glad I can finally give this closure. I Thank you again for your feedback. |
