Actually No LadyJane, she wanted to do the xrays but wanted all the meds out of his system first..It wasnt that I wouldnt allow the xrays

I actually made the second appointment TO get xrays..She did call and ask how his behavior is now with the drugs exiting his system

She felt that once the drugs were out of his system it was not a life threatening limp...He did have a very bad reaction to his shots a month ago and thoughts were thrown around that maybe these drugs he was put on made the problem much more worse..Today he was himself again

And I think whoever posted the items to have checked may have hit the nail on the head.. As it seems it may his neck or shoulder....The doctor told me to have him rest for another 3-5 days, then she would take two ex rays if I felt they were warranted..--one of the foot and one of the leg..If she didnt see anything she would the 2 more up to the neck ...And it dawned on me last night, BEFORE I noticed the limp...he didnt want to do rollover tricks...He thinks hes super dog and sits on the top of the couch and climbs onto the windowsill to watch outside..Im thinking now, he may have landed wrong when he jumped off? When I brought this up to the doctor today, she mentioned that if anything was broken, he would cry, and bite if it was moved...nomatter how sweet he is...And since she was not getting any of that she thinks he pulled a muscle...or may have arthritis in the joint...She did mention trying another inflammatory drug that wouldnt cause the side effects of the last one..as SHE doesn't feel anything is broken....Honestly, this doctor was very thorough and spent over an hour with him...He is walking on it a little more today,though he looks so pitiful...So I am just letting him rest his body and will be going back at the end of the week and we will go from there...Thank God she had me stop the medicine from the other doctor that was affecting him so bad..Hopefully, with no drugs in his system and rest she will able to able to proceed with any tests that can find the solution to the problem..
