Home again, home again, jiggidy jig!
Ollie had x rays: I saw them. Vet isn't an orthopedic or radiologist. No masses in abdomen, spine, or back lower limbs.
Suspect sprained hips esp. the right one. Possible inflammation in last lumbar before sacrum.
TX: bed rest for 2 weeks....ouch. no walks, no running in back yard and rimadyl for a week. will follow up if pain doesn't disappear.
Need to start investigating ramps/stairs...I bought one a few years back that didn't work out.
He's 9 yr. 4 months old..but, he's a long bodied dog for some reason...may be bilateral hip dysplasia, from birth. I didn't see it myself. My son has bilateral hip dysplasia but I'm not a vet.
Puff- I've been seeing Northern Light pics for weeks here from Minnesota.
Phyl - gad Jim is better....whew.
Catching up here and have Trevor coming tomorrow for the Big Dig in the garage.
Ollie may be more difficult the next few weeks as he loves his walks and no walkie Ollie for a long time.
