Oh my, I am so sorry to hear that sweet Scout isn't feeling well. Prayers from me and the girls in Indiana that she is soon feeling better, both her leg and her weepy eye.

(((hugs))) to you.

I would have insisted on a X-ray on the spot....

Not meaning to scear you here but this is why I would want a X Ray. I had a friend who had a wonderful dog, this dog had saved her life several times. Bonnie started limping, after months passed, she started chewing on her paw on that leg so she took her to the vet. X-rayed, said arthritis and gave her meds for that. Bonnie continued to get worse even after changing her meds a few times so she decided to take Bonnie to another vet. I was there when she got the call from the vet and we both almost passed out with the diagnoses.. CANCER! Vet #1 X-rayed from the elbo down... Vet #2 X-rayed the whole leg.... So if you do the X-ray, have him do the WHOLE leg.

My guess with Scout it IS arthritis or a sprained muscle...

Poor Scout. Hope he feels better

You didn't scare me Laura, don't worry. The vet and I discussed doing and x-ray today but we both agreed to wait. I'm okay with that. My vet is very careful about things and I don't feel she is being to relaxed in this. She said that Scout's back end is weak, not a lot of muscle tone, so she believes arthritis is the culprit and didn't feel anything indicated cancer. She and I will discuss more on Wed. and may go ahead with an x-ray then.

I can tell Scout is already feeling much better from the shot. She used the stool Dad made her to hop up and eat her food, ate well and used the steps on the window table we made to get up and take a nap her beside me. It is looking more and more like arthritis.

You must be relieved to hear that! I'm glad that pretty girl is doing better; she really is a beauty!

Sweet Scout, tell your meowmie to give you some special scritches from me...

Awe... poor Scout! She probably has an old injury from those rotten kids. What makes kids so heartless?!

I hope that the anti-inflammatory helps her to feel better. Maybe a change in weather made her feel worse? I know in humans arthritis can act up during certain weather and weather changes.

Dear Scout... sweet little orangie that you are, feel better soon!

Have you thought of finding a holistic vet that does chiropractic?
