I just returned from the vet with my limping dog.He has sprained his stifle joints - you can hear the clicking and see the reaction to the vet moving it. The inflammation is so bad he has also injured his foot and it is slightly swollen. We did not do any other testing since he has no other symptoms. He was given a shot of adequan and will be on metacam - He must be kept quiet but mobile- no fence running especially spinning - if there is not improvement by monday we will move on to some testing- Sally www.embroiderybysally.org ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
