Batmom Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 If it isn't too expensive where you are, x-ray is often useful first, then ultrasound of any suspicious things to follow.

JohnF Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Poor Marx. It could be a number of things so it is best to let the vet DX it systematically and not upset yourselves with guessing; Marx will be happier if you're acting calm and normally. At the very least Marx should get some effective pain relief; try and focus on that and continue to hope the problem can be found, controlled and eventually cured.

Guest mcsheltie Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I hope I didn't miss something, I skimmed thru the thread after reading your post in EEG. But from what I read, don't let yourself get worked up imagining the worst. The fact that he is eating, drinking & pooping normally is a good sign. GHs aren't the most stoic animals on the planet. My first thought is that he has hurt his neck, hip or back either going into or coming out of anesthesia. Or perhaps has some arthritic or disc issues that hadn't made an appearance until he strained the area coming out of the dental. I have a friend who is a big guy. He trimmed another friend's GHs nails. Soon after the GH started limping. Everyone freaked out thinking it was Osteo. I kept telling them I have seen my friend do nails before and he jacks their legs all over the place. They did x-rays and sent them to OSU. Turns out it was arthritis in her shoulder which didn't bother her until her leg got wrenched around. I'm sending prayers that this is just a minor thing.

Guest mbfilby Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Our Mickey came back from her last dental with a horrendous bruise along the entire inside of her rear leg. Vets and Techs are not always gentle when moving knocked out animals, and they arn't always aware of causing injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burpdog Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I am so fortunate here in Houston--good alternative vets. Every dog that goes in for any procedure that requires going up on the table -- I schedule a chiropractic appointment a day or two after (acupuncture will work too). Sending lots of prayers.

DesiRayMom Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Our Mickey came back from her last dental with a horrendous bruise along the entire inside of her rear leg. Vets and Techs are not always gentle when moving knocked out animals, and they arn't always aware of causing injury. I'll second that! I've seen firsthand how a big hound gets flopped trying to turn them over from one side to the other during a dental.....I'm not saying they're being careless, I'm just saying 80 - 90 lbs of asleep hound can be a chore to get turned over on a skinny dental table. Hope all is well & everyone gets some rest tonight. Quote Blessed is the person who has earned the love of an old dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BleuDog Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Prayers for you ALL......... I know he seems to be having rear end problems......BUT....PLEASE......check his chest cavity......listen & x-ray.....2-3 weeks after a dental could be perfect timing for bacteria from the dental to be causing heart or lung problems....

Sending healing vibes and thoughts and Lots of white light...... I second this. Not to scare you, but hearing that he can't get comfortable lying down makes me think congestive heart failure as a differential diagnoses. When they lie down and aren't moving they don't have gravity or muscle movement and blood flow to the heart/lungs increases (because muscles aren't using it) and the failing heart can't handle the increased blood and they get fluid seeping into their lungs, so they can't breathe as well and therefore aren't comfy. Again, not to scare you because it could easily be something as simple as he's got a kink in his neck from the surgery, but just something to think about. If he's going in for xrays soon I'm sure the vet will look at his heart, especially if s/he knows about the issues getting to sleep lying down. Hopefully it's noting.
