Guest ProudGreyMom Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Jake has been in pain for awhile now and even had a home vet visit 2 weeks ago due to severe pain in either his hips and/or legs. he is on 2 pain meds now and at least he can get up and walk a bit. Tomorrow at 8:30 he has to go to the vet for x-rays and will be under anesthesia DH and I have discussed in detail the possible outcomes of the x-rays that the vet is suggesting. He is 11 and a very tall grey. I will give an update once the vet calls me tomorrow. Thank you in advance for thinking of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaryJane Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Has the vet said why he needs to be under anesthesia for the x-rays? Consider talking to the vet and asking why he needs to be put under for the x-rays. I've had a few x-rays taken of my greyhounds legs and they didn't use anesthesia.

Batmom Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Ditto MaryJane's question. We normally don't anaesthetize here, altho if he is a squirm I suppose they might have to. Maybe just some valium to zone him out a bit would be a good middle ground? Sending prayers for your boy.

AngelWhispers Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Sending good thoughts. Mine have never been put under for x-rays. Patsie is a wiggler and she was given a mild sedative to calm her down when she needed x-rays of her spine, and all four legs and hips.

Guest TheUnrulyHound Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Good thoughts to Jake I took Outlaw in for x-rays a few weeks back and they were able to get x-rays without sedation. They even had him on the table on his back to view his spine from the underside... I would definitely ask about the reason for the anesthesia... Outlaw is 11 as well, I know what you are going thru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ProudGreyMom Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Jake has to have full testing of hips and legs and is terrified to be in the vet. He will freak when I even take him there and will really freak (to the point of hurting himself) when I leave. My vet is a sweetie and knows Jake well. The vet and I have discussed everything. Thank you for all the good thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
