Staying on topic, here is today's update:
Being we had the day off...we slept in today..and so did Cody.
We had him up at 10, to feed/medicate/and do his business...from that point he slept for another couple hours...not waking up until 3pm.

To give more informAtion about the shaking behavior that he does.
He has been doing this same shake for the past year...just not in this quantity.
The reason he has been doing this is because of a grade 2 luxating petella...which he had been doing water treadmill training for.

Another observation is that he no longer curls up in a ball when he sleeps...he try's to extend all the way. Normally his ears are tucked back and head covered up and now he makes sure his head is exposed..and ears are straight up.

I took a couple short videos tonight which I will upload and provide a link to

Once again..THANKS soooo much for all your help!

Oh yeah..one other thought: I think the next step will be to get a second opinion on he's radiographs...
Any thoughts on if we need a CT or MRI ? I'll do more research about which one we need.

Thanks again!
Bella
My only suggestion is a board certified ortho vet/surgeon for a second opinion. Your vet probably has one or is already consulting with one...if not, you can search on American College of Veterinary Surgeons He/she will discuss whether additional tests are needed and what tests with you.
Good luck!
