Jen I'm glad that you were seen by the doctor, even if it took two visits and two doctors to at least begin to LOOK for a diagnosis. At the very least you would think Doctor #1 would have taken blood! I too am wondering if the spasm might be caused by repetitive movements. I know after a few hours of grooming just my two I often feel "all kinked up." Hopefully the x-rays will confirm what Doctor #2 thinks is wrong and you can proceed toward a treatment and recovery. Remember you have lots of furry ones who need you (not to mention Charlie! ).
