Just got the phone call from the vet, Chestnut is groggy, I can pick him up at 2 PM.

The xrays didn't show anything re the spine; but she said again that is not conclusive. She also xrayed his hips. He DOES have changes there, and she expects he has some arthritis in them. But she isn't seeing such a big change as to explain why he can't jump. I 'could' do an MRI, that costs a LOT and still may not be conclusive.

So I will bring him home and keep him on the meds, get the URI cleared up, and the prednisone will continue to help as an anti inflammatory, and we will see if this helps him.

Wish it was more conclusive.

Many thanks for all the prayers and good wishes for my orangie.
