She said the Xray copy the ER vet had sent over was grainy but to ask the surgeon to checjk her hips. I'm not sure what that could mean. I need to read up on LP. Thanks I know I will need all of your support in the coming weeks.
the digital xray is much clearer and most vets cannot afford the digital xray equipment but the ortho will have it. When dd hurt her leg I went to a vet that had the digital xray for this reason as it is put on a cd for you to take with you to ortho. Our regular vet now has the equipment as i told him i went to this other vet for this reason as he did not have it. I did not want to pay twice for it and knew the ortho could just look at the cd I had from vet.
