RileysLegacy Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 (edited) I first noticed Riley limping slightly about a month ago. I took him to the vet and she put him on anti-inflammatory and pain meds. But he has gotten progressively worse, though slowly. This is the same leg that he hurt back in September when he fell down the stairs, I'm sure some of you will remember how horrible that was. I am hopeful that this is related to his old injury, but I can't help but be worried. It appears to be his shoulder that is bothering him now, and there is noticeable muscle loss on that side (left front). So, the dreaded x-rays today to rule out other things He's the best boy ever, it HAS to be something treatable.

MP_the4pack Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 He looks so much like my beloved Pearl. I hope it's something else. But if it is bad, don't hesitate to contact Dr. Couto. And I just want to mention that Pearl's sister Diamond was just 2 weeks shy of her 12th BD when they amputated her front leg in Oct. She's still with me.......6 months post op and still cancer free.
