I was really upset to read that the DeliDog is in pain I know it's hard for you to see her like that because you love her, but it's hard on us too, because we love her too. I hope you find out what the problem is and the fix is easy. I would not worry too much about the x-rays...they often have to fully extend the leg and joint and if she is having pain in that area, it might be painful for her. The anestisia they have nowadays is so safe anyway, and they may just mildly sedate her, just to keep the edge off her pain and so they can maneuver those legs so they get the best radiographs.

Good luck Kisses to Delilah.
