I was planning on getting his hips x-rayed anyway as soon as i could come up with the money and find a vet that will do it for a reasonable price (not banfield!!) he also has 30 days free sheltercare insurance so i'm going to call them and see if that will cover this since it's for post-adoption emergencies such as finding out the dog is HW positive, etc. ($75 deductible then)<br /><br />I'm not freaking out about finances now that i'm starting a second job tho. I will be making almost twice as much a week!Lexihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02686652037351903925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912628546990191320.post-57719067609666214832009-05-27T04:54:26.231-04:002009-05-27T04:54:26.231-04:00It is perfectly possible that the unexpected amoun...It is perfectly possible that the unexpected amount of active play put a strain on a muscle. You will know that if he stops limping after a few days' rest. If not, you have no alternative but to find out exactly where he's at with an X-ray and go from there. It sounds like he is doing so well emotionally and will make a great companion.<br /><br />Hang in there. You're doing a great job with Baxter!Tama-Chan, Benny, Vidock, Violette, Ollie, Heloise, Momo, Ryuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09728967278937557315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912628546990191320.post-48089844387715083792009-05-26T23:32:38.350-04:002009-05-26T23:32:38.350-04:00I think, just given your (our) past experience, yo...I think, just given your (our) past experience, you owe it to whomever may adopt him to have him x-rayed to confirm broken butt syndrome if that is indeed the case. I just look back at the very beginning with Q and the immediate worry and fear after he came home that something was wrong, and what that something may be. If he's got dysplasia, it should be confirmed and documented so the next adoptive parents know what they're dealing with before, not as a horrible surprise after.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15503135781875935546noreply@blogger.com
