No bad news! The Vet decided to run x-rays on her own because upon examination of his leg, when she would try to extend the shoulder, is when he felt pain. They were able to get the x-rays without sedating him which was nice. His shoulder looks great, both of them look excellent and no sign of any lesions or fractures or anything. So, she said it's a soft tissue injury that needs strict rest and prescribed him some Deramaxx for a week for the pain. She said to start him out at about 2 weeks strict rest, no playing, no running etc, walked on a leash and back inside. I'm kinda surprised seeing as though that's really all he has been doing for the last 2 weeks. Not until the last 2 days have I been letting them outside seperately though, so they wouldn't rough house- maybe that was keeping it from healing. Anyway, since it's gotten worse in the last couple days, I've kept them apart.
He was a great doggy there, loved everybody and just a big well behaved teddy bear and enjoyed all the rubs.
He has lost weight though, about 10 lbs in fact, he only weighs 61 lbs now.
I know Yiska weighs more than him at this point. I'm hoping that maybe if some of the pain is relieved, he'll get his appetite back? Hope so.
So, we are more than relieved it was nothing serious, I was seriously just waiting for the bad news. Now I can't wait until he is back to his old self, hope he starts improving soon.
We thank you for all the well wishes, they came in handy!
