Thanks for checking on Frankie. The first night was real scary then he was fine all day. About 1:00 in the am he did it again but not so bad. I took him in. The Doc did a thorough exam. I requested x-rays cuz when the doc shifted his rear leg he freaked. Turns out he has Leggs - Calve - Perthes disease. Ever heard of it? I haven't. It's in the hip area. They mentioned they could do surgery but he doesn't seem to be bothered by it at this moment. He still chokes a little during the day but it is getting calmer. He's on antibiotics now.
