Good Thoughts For Jake Please - X Rays Thursday

[Guest ProudGreyMom]

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.

Sending you and Jake a lot of love, hugs and prayers!

Awww feel better Jakie. We are thinking about you here.

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.

[Guest 3greysinPA]

Get Well Prayers Jake, prayers that you feel better soon sweetheart.

[Batmom]

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.

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.

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

[Guest ProudGreyMom]

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.

He is sleeping now. Gave him extra treats because he doesn't get breakfast in the AM. I will update when I can.
