I would definitely take your baby to a specialist. I agree, if your baby is in pain, then it may be time for surgery. I would suggest making an appt with an board certified orthopedic surgeon and having them do the xrays instead of the regular vet as they will probably want their own so they can determine what is going on. This will save a step as well as money.
As suggested, try limiting the jumping action with stairs or ramps. Good luck and please let us know how your baby is doing. Mine had his surgery at 1 1/2 years old. Hugs. |
