good news. x rays look fine, no HD

bad news. Found tender part on her ribs, but have no idea why. They can't find out whats wrong, why she hurts.

Maybe she has muscle injury around the rib cage. Like a bruise with a person.

but for 4 months?

Did the Vet offer any other remedies? Any other procedure they
might want to try?

Quite frankly- I think she has cracked ribs. That can be hidden in x-rays..

or when you lift her, it pinches a nerve in her back that is already sensitive. I hope the vet finds it. My vet would have gone over nose to tail. As I am sure yours is doing the same.

she said to give the R medicine a try. And to maybe find a specialist that could go deeper as to why she's hurting. She was thinking that maybe bone cancer is a possibility, but that didn't show up on the x ray. She also said that some dogs are just sensitive to being picked up.
