Hello everyone,

well I took Murphy to see his vet, which suggested Xrays right away, he showed me the xrays and explained that Murphy has no arthitis anywhere at the moment, and the xrays were so clear, he took them of his hips and legs and feet, just in case something else was hurt. He said Murphy has a Luxating Patella in that leg which he hurt from the fall and it seems to be mild. He did a very thorough good exam of Murphys legs and body.

Murphy is taking Metacam and the Vet said keep him crated, I do keep him in the crate alot but I do take him out to be with me on an area rug and when he goes outside to potty. He crys and barks alot, he is not used to the crate.

The vet said crate for 2 weeks but once that is done I wonder how I am going to keep him from jumping. Any suggestions???
