Sammy doesn't have pain but is only using 3 legs. She isn't using her back left leg. She had her back leg pulled way up and didn't use at all at first.Took her to vet a day after noticed she had problem he checked joints and bones all that looked ok. Gave her anti inflammatory and told us to give it a few days see if better if continues bring her back for xrays.Vet thought it could be soft tissue ( ligament/ muscle) She seems somewhat better. She is walking, running climbing stairs and jumping off most times 3 legs. She doesnt jump up on anything since injury. She is using leg more but not all the time.It's been 10 days. Vet wants me to bring her back for xrays, and full exam . He wants to put her under anesthesia , she is a year old and weighs 4lbs 7oz . Don't know what to do . I think rest might heal her but I don't know if Im making mistake. Any Thoughts????
