lothianjavert Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Diesel has been limping on and off on his front left for quite a while. He had films done about a year and a half ago, and everything was fine (just arthritis- and arthritic feet, wrists...). He got some deramaxx to use when needed. It wasn't too surprising when he started to limp a bit this fall when the weather really swung. Heck, I hurt too! But the deramaxx suddenly didn't help this week. And the limp was not the same- there was a level of pain that was not present before, and the way he was limping was different than the stiff arthritic limp that would get better w/ movement. He went to the vet today, who is also concerned. The deramaxx was upped to keep him comfortable and a blood panel done in preparation for a full set of X rays on Sat. morning. He was freaking so much that there is no way it can be done w/o sedation, esp. w/the angles to get good shots of the one area of his shoulder that is suspect. I don't even want to mention the word. I'm just hoping it isn't, that it's anything else other than that. He's only 10.
