My Pixie started limping and kept falling over. I took her to the ER immediately adn they said LP and she needed surgery. I had not been told she even had it and she was 4 years old at the time. She had walked off the bed the day before. They gave her pain meds and said to keep her confined. I wasn't convinced it was LP because it looked more like her hip. I waited for a shift change at the er and they xrayed and said LP,needs surgery. I took her to my regular vet who said LP, needs surgery. Then had a consult with surgeon and she concurred so Pixie had surgery that day. I have another with LP that doesn't bother her. But I would take her in in a minute if she seemed in pain. Please see if you can get him in to a vet and keep him quiet and confined until you see the vet. Please keep us posted. |
