It will give you some peace of mind of there is nothing showing up & let the vet know where to look next should symptoms continue. Of course, if they do find something, appropriate treatment can be started without delay. I hope it really is a strain that will respond to rest, confinement & treatment & your little one is back feeling 100% in no time. They are just so dear to us. If this should happen again, please don't wait, just take the baby right on in to see your vet to save suffering & get treatment started. It just never hurts to get on the problem from the very start of symptoms. That way, should be it something dire, your sweet one has the best of all chances of having a less intense episode & less suffering. Best wishes & I will be praying your baby is fine in no time. Hugs!

You are so right Jeanie we learned the hard way with several visits to the Vet and hundreds of dollars later and no xray. To the OP again if there is no improvement demand an xray at the next visit or set up an appointment with a specialist. It will save you worry and expense in the long run. Please keep up posted. Prayers for you and your baby.
