Its so pitiful to watch him. He tries to walk around the house, then flops over. he makes his "rounds" goes to his water and food bowls, doesn't want the food I put near him, also, keeps wanting to go to his regular box instead of the smaller box I have for him.

He wants to keep his routine, instead of giving up and being an invalid. He wants to keep his dignity. He's such a proud boy!

I will just insist on an xray tomorrow, they wanted $275 for a full body x ray at the ER last night, we asked if they could just do a hip xray, they said they needed a full body xray to make a diagnosis, that's when we declined.

Last year I broke my ankle, they xrayed my ankle, not my whole body "just to make sure" Why can't the same common sense apply with vet care?
