You vet should have no issue giving you the xrays for a specialist to look at...I was thinking (hoping!) he was doing the xrays under sedation so that if it was a dislocated knee or hip, it could be manipulated back into position.....that was apparently not his purpose and no it is NOT routine to sedate pups for xrays unless they are unmanagable and it would be necessary to get the xrays done properly. I would advise an ortho specialist for treatment of this issue. |
