RileysLegacy Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 (edited) omg, you guys are so sweet! I am so sorry I didn't post an update sooner. Riley's leg is looking much better His leg was swollen Friday night, but when we woke up on Saturday it looked pretty close to normal. So I called the vet and we agreed to see how it does over the next couple of days. Sat was also his last day on the Previcox, so she said to see what happens when he is off the meds and get back to her. I am hoping and praying it continues to get better. Thanks so much for all your concern, I think it helped! I will post again if we do end up needing the x-ray. ETA: Believe it or not, Riley is 9 years old now.

VinnieAndRexsMom Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Riley is 9 already? Unbelieveable!!! Good luck at the vets tomorrow. I am still hoping it is nothing. Does the swelling coincide with the more he uses it? Hugs to one of my favorite boys Quote Tonya, mom to May, and my angels Vinnie, Rex, Red, Chase, and Jake.

RileysLegacy Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 Thanks everyone. Riley is getting dropped off tomorrow at the vet for the morning, which I hate to do but they don't have any appointments for a couple of days. I'll pick him up after work and then I'll let you know what was found. Please keep all fingers and paws crossed for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FullMetalFrank Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Keeping Riley in our prayers! It is hard to believe he's 9 already. Where does the time go? I hope his swelling turns out to be nothing more than a little normal senior wear and tear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RileysLegacy Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 Hi everyone, well Shaun ended up picking him up, so I didn't get to talk to the vet myself. But the news is good news, I think. They weren't really sure of what they saw, but they think it is arthritis in the cartilage of his wrist. I ordered glucosamine/MSM today which I have been meaning to do. I am just hoping this will be the end of it... I sure wish I had a greyhound savvy vet here though. I am SO sick of hearing that the vet isn't sure what's wrong. Would it make sense that a swollen wrist with no apparent pain is arthritis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
