I suppose it could have escalated quickly, but that is not the norm imo. Besides, the way you have said this happened, she did not know that Bridget even had LP now until she did the xray. Makes zero sense to me!

Thanks - that is exactly right - last month she said Bridgets knees were fine and Saturday she thought the injury was a strain/sprain - treatable with meds. She didn't feel x-rays were needed unless she didn't get better. It was only after the x-rays was LP mentioned. "Mom to Hot Rod" did say that wasn't the norm also. I really appreciate the info - there are 4 vets in this office - I think I'll request a new one. Better safe than sorry!
