Holding good thoughts for Elsie and you. I know my vet reminds me that I freak out every time there appears to be a limp or a skipped step because my mind is conditioned to think the worst because I've been through it. I told him that those visits are for my peace of mind, as well as for checking my girl. Hugs.

RIGHT!

 

maybe just a little arthritis. I know *she* thinks she's 2, but it could be her joints are getting a little creaky

 

Agreed. Our Darcy is 9.5 y/o going on 2 y/o. She limps from time-to-time, but it's nothing more than her arthritis flaring up when she plays/runs too hard.

Just walked in the door.

 

Good news.

 

Dr. A does not feel it's cancer. He said he thinks it's her neck which has previously had some sensitivity- a couple of months ago. He manipulated and twisted her neck to the left- her head turned all the way, almost parrallel to her body, no problem. When he went to move her head to the right side, she had a very limted range of motion.

 

He then manipulated her right leg and there was no discomfort. He felt pretty comfortable saying, it's her neck and it just needs some time. He gave her a cordisone shot and we will start the medacam tomorrow late afternoon. Twice I asked him if he thought she needed x-rays. Twice he said no.

 

If there is no improvement in a week (he feels she should be fine in a few days) then we can do the x-rays.

 

What a load off my mind. It was hard not to "go there" even though my vet via email told me it could very well be her neck. But after going through what we went though with Polli and what I read on a day to day basis on GT, it's hard not to "go there".

 

Thank you all for your loving words and concern. It helps get me through the day!

 

You be da best.
