    Just got back from the vet.

    Chestnut actually let them do an exam! For almost 2 minutes and then the "old" Chestnut appeared: screaming, hissing, biting swatting.

    So they took a blood sample, and sent us home with 4 meds: anti inflammatory for the potential back issue, and the other 3 for his URI. He goes for xrays Wednesday morning.

    It "could" be slipped disc(s). The problem is the loss of muscle in BOTH rear legs. The vet said that much loss so quickly (about 2 weeks) is usually not from lack of use due to pain if he jumps. That quick is usually a sign of something more serious.

    No jumping, so he is in the bedroom with Mandy for the next few days; where he has been for th past 2 days since I knew he had a problem.

    Oh, Chestnut is age 12 years and 5 months.

    Thank you for all the prayers.

    Prayers that whatever is going on with Chestnut is not too serious and can be treated.

    Prayers for Chestnut to feel better soon. I do hope it isn't as serious as it might seem.

    Hmmm, but your vet didn't say what the more serious issue could be? Well, whatever the case, we're still praying here that Chestnut will get over this quickly and be better than before. Keep the faythe.
    Blessings,

    Chestnut, you get better this instant, and no more jumping (not even on the bed) until you're healed! We're all worried about you!
