rib x-rays

[ashleycat]

I'm not sure. I adopted her a few months ago. She always seems overly sensitive which made me think she had hip displaysia. So I took her to the vet and they didn't even do x rays. He said he could just see and feel it.

but it's not just her hips. Her chest is sensitive too. So now I no longer think it's HD, I think she was abused and got kicked a lot. Because I can just barely put pressure on her underside to lift her, and she will yelp. A lot of times where I wouldn't expect her to hurt, she does.

I also asked the lady I adopted her from if she had been injured or anything, she said no. But I think she just doesn't know, and hasn't had much experience with her to know. When I got her, her fur was coming out in CLUMPS, she had never been brushed. She was covered in tics. Tho she did have a flea/tic drop on her back that didn't do much.

K, so a good portion of the day has gone by and I tried to pet Runner on her tummy and hind portion. She still won't let me there. I can't even touch her fur. So something either happend, or is worse. I can't wait to call the vet tomorrow.

All I did was try to pick her up for bath, I barely put any pressure. And she's been like this all day.

maybe she's just a sensitive dog? I hope there is nothing really wrong with her. please keep us updated.

I just went and tried to pet her again. She won't let me touch her. All I was touching was her back, she started yelping. So I stayed on her head. She won't even let me touch her head. She yelps and tries to nip me. NOw she's scared of me.

ok, I can pet her now, but the second it feels like I'm going to her underside she yelps.

does it mean anything if she's had heartworms and has been treated? would that make a doggy sore? HOw would one know if she got them again? she is on preventative.
