Susanval Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Hi Pongo had clean x-rays about a month ago but limping progressively worse and now the area above his elbow around his chest (hard to describe) is very hard and he can't walk today. Stopped eating too. We are going back to the vet tomorrow but have no pain meds for him. Prednisolone didn't work. Just wondering if this could be osteo. He is 12.

greysmom Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Osteo can occur in any bone in any part of the body, but most often occurs in the longer larger bones of the leg, shoulder and hip. Good luck.

robinw Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) Yes, it can. Do you know Kim, who lived with Sebbie in Kitchener? He had osteo in his ribcage. I hope this isn't the case with sweet, sweet Pongo. Treasure had clean x-rays and I was told she had a soft tissue injury. Her limp worsened so I took her in for laser treatments. We repeated the x-rays and it turned out she had osteo. I think it is very possible to the symptoms to appear before the lesion shows up on x-rays. Good luck Edited June 29, 2014 by robinw Quote Xavi the galgo and Peter the cat.

Susanval Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 Thank you - I think more and more it is Osteo and it is moving fast. I will know tomorrow. I just wasn't expecting this. He has been so healthy Quote Susan and Pongo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
